I didn't know that there was a Peckham Rye Festival last weekend - I think there is probably some useful feedback in that fact alone! (and I have been in previous years).


I will caveat that I had been on holiday in the week lead up and I rarely look at the whats on pages on this forum anymore. I did however know about the west Dulwich and Dulwich fairs last Saturday and Sunday and I'm generally 'the one in the know' within my social group for local stuff (I'm observant and read stuff!). I live in SE15 but near to East Dulwich Station and increasingly split my time 50/50 in ED and Peckham.


Sorry to have missed it.

Cedges/Pickle, it wasn't in the park, it was a music festival in the bars and venues around Peckham.


TBH in many ways it was like a normal Saturday night in Peckham, with places like the Bussey, Canavans, Four Quarters, etc, all pretty busy. The main difference was that you got a wristband allowing you into all the different venues.


I assume the OP is asking from a policing point of view... but not sure I have a lot to add, it all felt friendly, good-natured and safe to me. But I bailed out shortly after 2am, so couldn't comment on anything that may have happened after that...

Me neither. Electronic music is - generally speaking - not my bag. But it seemed like a good excuse for a night out. And I like the concept of wandering between different venues and seeing what's going on.

I went and loved it! Could deffo have done with a bit more PR though... Went to Bussey, Canavans, White Horse (that was pants though), then back to Bussey... had to get back for babysitter around 2.30am, but really liked it, good vibes, good mix of people, great music. Deffo room for expansion next year!

Good to find nice feedback on Peckham Rye Music Festival here Pilsbury.. It's something my partner is heavily involved with.


Peckham Rye music Festival is happening again this year (2017) taking part in some of the same venues around Peckham as well as a few new ones. It's now in an expanded format - spread over two consecutive weekends ( with a week of community focused fringe events happening in between. I will be there with our baby in his ear defenders!

No, that was this:

Saturday 18 March‪: Southwark Presents Spring Waking

6pm ? 7.15pm. Start from East Dulwich Community Centre. As winter turns into spring and darkness turns into light, we celebrate a time of change and transformation. Spring Waking, commissioned by Southwark Council, is a new dazzling event for East Dulwich. Emergency Exit Arts and Output Arts are very excited to be creating this outdoor show with support through GfA. Spring Waking will feature a community procession led by a giant illuminated butterfly and moth and a fantastic light-filled finale show with a specially composed song cycle from singer and musician, Bishi. To join the parade with your own personalised butterfly or moth please check the Emergency Exit Arts website for details of public workshops www.eea.org.uk www.outputarts.com

(From arounddulwich.co.uk)

didn't hear or see anything about that. Would have come along.


Can someone please tell Southwark Council to invest the money in more community spirited events like this (and notices for it - I'd happily have printed many off!) rather than new lamp posts.


What is the method of communications so we don't miss anything else?

A lot of local schools were the involved so I guess the adults were mostly parents. There were a couple of open workshops at a local church and community centre too, so I guess only a narrow section of the neighbourhood would have seen the flyers. It was lovely so I feel sorry that some missed it.

    • Our cellar was damp constantly and we were told that there were many underground streams in Dulwich (which eventually end up in the river in Belair Park),  Agree it is connected  to the water table. We had all old plaster removed from walls and replastered, 
    • Andy did a good job for me doing up a flat - bedrooms, bathroom and kitchen for a very reasonable rate. He’s a top notch painter and decorator and can turn his hand to many other trades too. I’d highly recommend him - nothing was too much trouble.
    • A ramp would not be suitable for Love Dulwich. Gradient would be too steep, also length of ramp would go into road. We considered a ramp in the house to get down 2 steps (internal) but an OT who measured said we would need a clear space of around 9 feet plus because of the height of steps.
    • Over the past few months, Jan from Silver Fern Landscapes has completed several projects for us.  (He was recommended by a neighbour.)  We have been very pleased with his work.  Some details are below: Built and replaced several trellis fence panels.  In one part it was very complicated due to a large vine that had grown into/around the trellis.  He was able to save the vine, having unpicked it from the old trellis and then securing it to the new.  The vine went into a bit of shock, but is now thriving. Repaired the top frame to our garden side-return door, replacing rotten wood, and repainting the new to match. Repaired the loose tiles in our front walkway Along the way, during his visits, Jan also gave advice on various topics, such as how to best care for: our recently re-planted lawn, a tree that lost a large branch, and the vine mentioned above.  His working style is straight forward...he shows up when he says he will, discusses what needs to be done, provides timely quotes, completes the work as agreed, and sends an invoice. No drama, no hassle.  We will definitely be calling on Jan again when future garden-related projects arise! silverfernlondon.co.uk/silver_fern_landscapes.html
