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

    • I have fond memories of Govinda's I used to go there  back in the 90's (maybe earlier) for an affordable tasty lunch..I was wondering if its still around. Now I have to make a point of going there. Does anyone else remember a really affordable basement cafe run by the church in a street off of Golden Square? parallel to Regent Street? I also used to love the Vegetarian cafe on Neal Street in the basement (Neal Street Cafe?) and there was an inczredible inexpensive authentic Japanese resturant I use to go to with my Japanese friends (who introduced me to it) tucked away behind Long Acre where that brown brick modern building ('modern' I think it went up in the 90's!) now stands that fronts Long Acre and Neal Street..I think it was called Asakasa or something?
    • I wonder where he could be deported to, Hungary the obvious candidate in Europe, perhaps he would get on well with Modi?   Conservative leader Kemi Badenoch and Reform UK leader Nigel Farage both said Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood should look at whether Abd El Fattah's citizenship could be revoked to enable his swift removal from the UK. Farage said in a letter to Mahmood: "It should go without saying that anyone who possesses racist and anti-British views such as those of [Mr Abd El Fattah] should not be allowed into the UK." So just racists views are ok Nige?
    • Always preferred Grace and Favour to the BMC, commented in the past on this and sadly long since gone   
    • If it's the same one I'm thinking of, it was a little further down the road towards LL, probably where the Fresh Flower Company is today. I'd forgotten all about it, with good reason. I think it disappeared before Blue Mountain opened and became a pizza place? I once bought a carton of milk from the deli and when I opened it, it was solid. I did get my money back though.
