Live music venues are disappearing at an alarming rate all over London so it is important to support these sort of ventures if you can. I'm sure the Rye can cope without any problems - it shakes off the aftermath of the circus with no real problems.

Really? I think Peckham Rye park is much better served. Peckham Rye station is a bit of a stroll away, but there are 3-4 different routes running through it. Dulwich Park is not great for transport. And I think it's only a one day event, not a two day. I don't really understand your objection... is it mainly damage to the park which worries you?

I had to look up the acts from last year, it appears to be DJs and electronic stuff, so not really what I think of as "live music" but I'm sure there's an audience for it amongst local middle-aged ex-clubbers and what have you.

Looking at the plans, this is on the Rye, not in the park, so something a bit bigger and better managed than the old Irish Festival.


I ran the little Aquarius Festival for 8 years, which was never hugely supported by the local community. But something with a few bucks behind it may make for an entertaining day or two out.


Best of luck. But it looks like the Rye will be totally closed off for 5 or 6 days. Not sure is that will be so popular...

As far as numbers are concerned, we used to get around 800+ adults on the golf course on a good festival day, and the place looked deserted. The Festival stage was about 100 metres from the entry gate, on the 1st fairway.


Sadly Thames Water shut the event down permanently a couple of years ago, but we were well supported by Southwark Council and local business sponsorship.


If this event has this many planned attendees, there will have to be a force of Marshalls plus security, plus first aid, plus suitably secure containment/fencing.


I reckon the 11.00 close down will be way too late for local residents - especially if the main performance base is DJ, not live bands.


At Aquarius Fest the outdoor stage closed at 9.00, then continued indoors with amazing live jazz and rock until past 11.00. All day live music, all inclusive, and all for just ?3 per adult. Great times.

I wish people wouldn't keep saying that this event is going to be on the common - it is going to be in the Park - setting a precedent. The first post in this thread gives the site map, which is of the fields in Peckham Rye Park opposite Harris Boys school. All day events until 11pm with very loud,amplified music.

In this week's Southwark News, the council state they have sought and been granted permission to use the park in this way but the council have been unable to prove this - the licence they quoted as proof was only for the common. At tomorrow's Licensing Committee, the council are not allowing objectors to query the choice of siting the event in the park.

Sorry Kiera you?re absolutely correct.


I assume this means they can limit entry points to the Friern Road entrance, to manage security, and add convenience for bus stop access.


Be very interested to see how they get on.

      Cllr Williams to stand down

      Where did I say he did a good job? Yup and Corbyn was very close to Len McCluskey and funded by Unite wasn't he...they're all as bad as each other... Labour have to purge their party of the far-left - they're a disaster. Allan Johnson summed it up so well on election night in 2019....

      Rude Evri delivery in SE22

      By ak0910 · Posted

      Thank you for the detailed advise @trinidad It is definitely damage we are concerned about. I don’t think Evri would agree to pay the bill to fix our gate or letter box if they were to be damaged as a result of their delivery drivers helper. Our doorbell can be heard from outside when rung so we don’t quite believe the aggressive simultaneous door/letter box banging is necessary. It can be quite a shock it is done very aggressively.  I’ll definitely action the steps you’ve kindly provided along with a phone call tomorrow. I do sympathise with the role drivers have and how busy they are, which is why we tried communicating directly with her but sadly we haven’t succeeded

      Rude Evri delivery in SE22

      What outcome would you like? Disciplinary action? Not to have the driver back? Retraining? I know there is alot of pressure on drivers to deliver within a set day. if he slams the gate, is it evidence he is causing damage, or is the noise a irritant to yourself? You could put a sign up or buy a signing asking to close the gate gentle???? can you hear the door bell from the door? he might be ringing, not hearing and therefore knocking. In trhe notes section of the be livery page, there is a note section, although there is not 100 per cent these notes would be read as these drivers are constantly rushing.  I did a google search for you, i found this and you can try the envri website Contact Us | Evri   To complain to Evri, you can follow these steps: Contact Customer Service: Call Evri's customer service at 0330 808 5456 for assistance with your complaint.    1 Write a Letter: Address your complaint to Capitol House, 1 Capitol Close, Morley, Leeds, West Yorkshire, LS27 0WH.    1 Use the Official Website: Visit the Evri complaints page on their official website for detailed instructions on how to submit a complaint.    2 Email or Call for Specific Issues: For issues like missing or damaged parcels, you can email or call 0800 988 8888, which is free to call.    1 These methods will help you effectively communicate your concerns to Evri.   My driver is called anthony, he is brilliant to be honest. I cant fault him.

      When I have more time and energy, I will look up the actual number of votes cast for each party in that election, rather than the number of seats won. I'm interested to see that you apparently  think that  Boris Johnson did a good job of "leading the country through Covid." Is your memory really that short? I won't stoop to calling Johnson and his cronies names in the way that you seem to think is appropriate for left wing politicians. At least the left wing politicians have some semblance of morals and a concern for people who aren't in some over privileged inner circle and/or raking in money for themselves on the back of an epidemic. I'm not going to open a can of worms on here  by commenting on the disgraceful so called "purge".
