Just been to a great gig at the above mentioned, watching the wondrous Elliott Morris (look him up on YouTube),an astonishingly good guitarist. Lovely atmosphere, great people, very reasonably priced (?9 a ticket if bought online, ?3 for a bottle of beer) well worth a visit. All profits go back into the farm to help their work with schoolchildren, riding for the disabled etc. First Thursday of every month. Give it a go, we're going back!


N.B. I have no connection whatsoever with VCF,in fact despite teaching at a school round the corner from them for quite a few years this was my first visit, just thought people might like to know about it and they deserve some publicity.

VCF is a fantastic place - maybe it's an over-used term, but I think it truly is a hidden gem. The music nights are quite a new innovation, but so far have been very well attended and I've heard a lot of good feedback about them.


On a sunny day there are few better places to take children to have fun and to meet (and learn about) the animals, learn about food etc. at the same time. It's free entry too (although donations are always welcome).

Yes, I'm going to go back in the day as well to see the animals - I had a chat with the CEO and she told me "Nothing gets your thoughts straight better than chatting with an alpaca." Need to try that. By the way, she told me that they hire out for meetings/workshops as well (that's why she told me about the alpacas, apparently people like to go and talk to them in their "breakout" time!), be a great place for that.
That was unlucky, but it's good advice. Having said that, it's not often that many animals are taken out of VCF. The weekend of the Lambeth Country Show is one - VCF has a large presence there, so that weekend will be one (21-22 July). The Dulwich Fair (or whatever it is called) at Dulwich Park has also seen a reasonable VCF animal presence in the past (not sure what VCF's presence will be this year).

    • I’m basing it on the fact that Jeremy Corbyn had repeatedly and on record said he is against mandatory vaccinations in any situation, and he wouldn’t disclose wether he had the Covid vaccine himself    as I said. Not as bad as his brother but very definitely a bit weird about the whole thing. Just say you had the vaccination Jeremy, say that everyone should and stop being weird in the middle of a global pandemic    it’s the same slippery evasive nonsense about Brexit and him. About Putin poisonings and him.     if you are happy with his evasiveness then you do you.  But there is a reason the country wouldn’t get behind him 
    • It was my understanding that Jeremy Corbyn was embarrassed by his brother and had distanced himself from his brother's views. I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong. Why on earth should "the overall view of that family inform Jeremy's response to the pandemic"? What exactly are you basing that assumption on?
    • I guess it's best to do what most Brits do these days, keep your head down and say nothing! although that's probably why this country is in the mess it is today!  😞
