PECKHAM VOICES


Do you live in Peckham and have a story to tell? Wherever you come from, whatever you do, if you live locally then we want to hear from you!


Let's start with the obvious, we reckon Peckham is pretty brilliant, and so we've set-up Peckham Voices to celebrate and honour all the stories and diverse experiences that make up our unique community. With the help of Southwark Council and Peckham Festival we'll be creating an online archive of Peckham's stories - from work, play, love, heritage and experiences of change - which we hope will promote the value of listening and preserve our local tales for years to come. All those who take part will be given CD / electronic copies of their interviews and a place in the public archive. Next year the stories will also feature as part of a wider exhibition at Copeland Gallery.


Over the Peckham Festival weekend we'll be recording your stories from our travelling booth. Take part by booking a slot at one of the sessions below. We look forward to seeing you for a chat! If you cant make any of the dates below we are happy to arrange slots beyond the festival


September 8th: Peckham Liberal Club 2pm - 8pm


September 9th: Peckhamplex 10am - 4pm


September 10th: Peckham All Saints Church 10am - 4pm


September 11th: Blenheim Arches 10am - 2pm

    • These neighbours dislike trees period. They refused to have lost trees replaced by the Estate on our communal green. They don’t like the leaf and seed droppings. These make the grass look ‘messy’. Similarly, they don’t like my policy of leaving the tree leaves where they lie on the grass verge - hence chopping the overhanging branches. It’s like living in the 1950s. My neighbours have three gardeners with leaf blowers who come twice weekly to remove every leaf from their front lawns. Their grass is cut weekly and all the  cuttings put in multiple brown bins. It’s an outdated mindset of the moneyed classes in my view. But sadly, I’m very much in the minority.
    • Polanski is, by the way, unable to provide a definition of Zionism - the issue on which his party's membership will vote.
    • Fireplace surround / mantelpiece. Ideally wooden
    • Hope you are all leaving nesting material out.
