Once again the festival has lined up a list of high calibre events in locations in and around SE26, including a Visual Arts Trail, featuring over 100 artists.


Highlights include Arts in the Park/Family Fun Day on Sunday 1 July, headlined by singer songwriter Randolph Matthews, who draws on soul greats and Neo African rhythms to create surprising and original work. There will also be free arts activities and animation workshops, theatre and puppetry, as well as a funfair and food stalls offering food from around the world.


The festival also features Sydenham-based alternative folk singer Charlene Soraia, who hit the No.1 spot on the i-Tunes chart with ?Wherever You Will Go? (also used on the Twinings Tea advert) an open-air production of The Jungle Book (3-8 July), a ?Battle of the Bards? playwriting competition and Word Explosion, a family-friendly literary festival headlined by Liverpool poet Roger McGough.


Along with dance, poetry and playwriting workshops, music events from classical to jazz and more, discovering the arts on your doorstep could never have been easier.


Brochures are available at local cafes and libraries or go to SydenhamArtsFestival.co.uk

    • Ocado stopped sourcing from Waitrose a few years ago. They now source from M&S and general brands. Waitrose have their own delivery service now. I don't know how well served SE22 is by it. Ocado offers for new customers are, or certainly were, really good, particularly in the run up to Christmas. I think I got 20%/15%/10% up to a maximum of £100 spend off my first three deliveries with no delivery charge or commitment to sign up for further deliveries. There wasn't a time limit, IIRC, so it was a great way of restocking heavy store cupboard basics and stuff for the freezer.
    • Fair enough point, but does that not in a way make it even worse if they open a shop almost directly  opposite another "family" business selling exactly the same type of products?
    • As Occado source from Waitrose, and were their only deliverer at one stage, and as Waitrose do now deliver it may be they feel their reach in ED is sufficient to mean having a local outlet would not gain them sufficient additional sales to be cost effective. The movement to delivery rather than physical shopping during Covid has I believe substantially changed the grocery economics. So it may be that the High Street dynamic for physical shops has now changed. 
    • ..... thinking about the discussion about Chango.  Their "About us" blurb on the website says started by one Argentina guy.  So if one person has a successful business and goes on to open a number of shops when do they go from a supported successful "family" business to a less liked "chain"?
