I often walk to Brockwell Park from Dulwich, excellent suggestion! I'd be up for it

PM me if you would like to get involved. There is a lovely walk in Wells Park. Others are looking at Waterlink Way. I do some other walks - Dulwich Park, the Rye, One Tree Hill, The various cemeteries, Ruskin park and more. There is now a 9am walk meeting at Honor Oak Station.


Numbers have dropped off due to pandemic, I did some Zoom walks which were poorly attended as those they were targeted at probably aren't always computer savvy.

Just get together with a few friends and head off.

I meet some chums one night each week for a decent walk and catch-up.

Last week was ED to Westminster to Southbank to London Bridge to ED. 11.3 miles apparently.

No need for pubs !!


ETA: And night-time is much MUCH quieter.

Not everyone can do this, either lack of opportunity of different circumstances.


I agree about night time walking, beginning to prefer it now!

Of course.

Just suggesting for those who can get out with friends, obviously the distance was a bit extreme too !

    • It's the "due to commercial reasons" line again that is vexing. Last year it seemed, although there was a similar level of objection, that the reasons were commercial - Gala didn't appear entirely prepared to run 3 more events, or more likely didn't have sufficient interest from other promoters / organisers who could 'sub-let' the site as with Brockwell Park (I believe?). This year they appeared more organised, had another year to plan & prepare, to the extent they actually had names for two of the three new events which indicated to me that they had third party promoters / organisers in place.  So yes, it does make you wonder whether the repeated level of objection, combined with the impending elections, led to the council 'advising' that maybe they shelve it again? I'm afraid I can't see the whole extension application just being a ruse to guarantee permission for the 'regular' event. Gala are a commercial venture with ambition - every festival's business plan is to expand, expand, expand, year on year on year. Gala won't give up until they have taken over the whole park for a Summer of Raves, and the mysterious owners are on their yachts counting their ££££
    • Thanks for that. Maybe forthcoming elections have stymied the 7 day request? If Labour get back in, do we think GALA will try with greater success in 2027?
    • Better late than never, same obscure reason as previously for not going ahead with the extended plan... "Due to commercial reasons, the event organisers have withdrawn their application to hold a 7- day event over two weekends. The application has been revised to request the use of Peckham Rye Park to hold a 4-day event over one bank holiday weekend with the following schedule: • Onsite: Monday 11 May 2026 • GALA: Friday 22 – Sunday 24 May • On the Rye Festival: BH Monday 25 May • Off-site Sunday 31 May 2026 This is the same event programme that was delivered in 2025."  GALA 2026 consultation findings report 1519.pdf
