Definitely worth a look Donna - lots of very good food and drink, arty-crafty stalls and live music plus bouncy castle/slide and donkey rides for the kids - very busy last year and a lot of fun in a chaotic noisy colourful kind of way.


ETA: you can check out last year's fair (including pre and post reactions) here

There will be a Goose Is Out! live music stage at the Fair on Goose Green on Sunday, from 11.30am to 4pm.


11.30am - Dulwich Folk Choir


12 midday - James Riley


1pm - The Dulwich Ukulele Club


2pm - The John McLean Band


3pm - The Shakermakers


And here is some information about them all!


The Dulwich Folk Choir.


Led by Aimee Leonard, who has recently moved here from Orkney, this will be the first public performance from this enthusiastic local choir, who will be singing a few traditional songs in three part harmony.


James Riley


Described by Reverbnation as "A fiendishly proficient guitarist and singer", and still only 24, local lad James has turned heads the world over - he has appeared on the same bill as blues legend Buddy Guy in Chicago.


The Dulwich Ukulele Club


This local big band with small guitars rocks up a storm wherever they go. "The Dulwich Ukulele Club are a must see. No kidding." The Guardian.


The John McLean Band


Local folk, blues and soul legend John McLean returns again to Goose Green following his fantastic performance at the Dulwich Festival Fair last year. John sings from the heart, and it shows in the warmth that exudes from the stage whenever he plays.


The Shakermakers


Finishing the afternoon's live music are seven musicians who hail from the heart of East Dulwich. "The best blues and R&B band in South East London" - Rock 'n' Reel. Don't miss them!

Yes, it is a great day if the weather is good. Well worth a visit.


We will have the Peckham Residents? Network stall there as usual with the latest news from Peckham Vision, Southwark Rail Users' Group, and Peckham Society about the shared campaigns to improve Peckham town centre and local rail services (including East Dulwich rail); also with Bellenden Residents' Group info. Friends of Goose Green also will have a stall. So if you get there do come and look for us and say hello, and also enjoy what is usually a good fun day on our wonderful Goose Green open space. It would be great to see some EDF regulars in person!

I'll be helping on my husband's stall on Goose Green this Sunday and Dulwich Park next week. We'll be selling greetings cards and his brand new range of prints for children's rooms from his company Rootytoot, plus some delicious cupcakes. Come and have a look and say hello, the weather is meant to be good!!

...and don't forget the Dulwich Park Fair on the closing Sunday of the Festival, 20 May, from 12-6pm. Dog show, punch and judy, hog roasts and ethnic food, falconry, blacksmith, stalls selling arts, crafts and lots more.


This will also be your chance to input to Southwark on the Hepworth replacement. They are having a stand next to the site from which the sculpture was stolen. Some local artists have also created a small 'Homage to the Hepworth' exhibition for a marquee on the site.

There were so many cupcake stalls some had to be ironic... but there were plenty of cushions there too - and 'hand crafted' jewellery - and some bizarre rags on string being sold as bunting - and several ways of emptying your wallet on creams, lotions and potions designed to create a new and beautiful you... (no gollies that I could see this year though)


...but also a rash of crepe stalls, the excellent Melange choccy stall, a great macaroon stall and the usual beer, jerk, sausage and paella stalwarts.

      GALA 2026

      By fishboy · Posted

      There's quite a difference between going for a run around the footpaths and trying to sit quietly for an afternoon in a wide, grassy area and enjoying the peace & nature. The other two grassy areas in the park are used for sports, and both had barriered trackway running through them. The Parkrun had to be cancelled for at least three weeks, iirc. I'm concerned by your continued reference to "the rye" - the event is held in the park, not on the rye (common). There is a big difference, despite the organisers and council artificially amalgamating the whole area when trying to convince everyone that it's only a small area that is closed off. The railings & gates enclosing the park are a big clue...

      Inpost "Parcel was refused" at Barry's - anyone else?

      By fishboy · Posted

      So have you cancelled your contract with InPost / Yodel now? If so, that's probably caused hundreds of parcels to be stuck in limbo, as they've said to me before that they can't redirect them to a different store. I have a parcel that was refused by you twice, the last time on 5/12, and since then there's been no updates, despite me calling them 3 times. They just say it's being investigated, but if they now can't physically deliver to you then that is obviously the issue. So much for shopping for Christmas presents early, looks like I'll never get them now.

      I thought I noticed the shop being redecorated the other day when I passed. Also the old Romeo Jones had some works going on, I think

      Electrician recommendation: Electrical Initiative Ltd

      Leon came to sort out a lighting issue for us last week.  He quickly diagnosed the problem and gave clear, detailed advice about how to avoid in future.  Would highly recommend him.
