Thanks for that. Maybe forthcoming elections have stymied the 7 day request? If Labour get back in, do we think GALA will try with greater success in 2027?
Better late than never, same obscure reason as previously for not going ahead with the extended plan...
"Due to commercial reasons, the event organisers have withdrawn their application to hold a 7- day event over two weekends. The application has been revised to request the use of Peckham Rye Park to hold a 4-day event over one bank holiday weekend with the following schedule:
• Onsite: Monday 11 May 2026
• GALA: Friday 22 – Sunday 24 May
• On the Rye Festival: BH Monday 25 May
• Off-site Sunday 31 May 2026
This is the same event programme that was delivered in 2025."

Do great pizzas there at community cafe.. lots going on — was free parking but plans to like everywhere get folk to pay.
Nice area… only discovered it a few years ago..
Oh ok, I've looked at it again and I agree I misread it.
You are right. I hadn't realised there were two separate parks. I just looked on a map.
I have only been to the smaller one, with the pond.
