Part of the Dulwich Festival, the Festival Fair brings together a selection of the best craftspeople, designers, independent shops, family fun, bars and cafes from the vibrant and creative East Dulwich area. The Police will be there with their car to explore as well as the local Fire Brigade. From bouncy castles to beer tents, handmade children?s tee-shirts to homemade cakes, designer jewellery to local photography, the Festival Fair brings together the essence of SE22. Nibble delicious food from The Blue Mountain Cafe as you take in the stylish arts and craft stalls; enjoy a drink from the East Dulwich Tavern refreshment tent as your children have their faces painted for free.


New this year is the The Mad hatter?s tea party. Children are invited to bring a picnic and join the tea party at noon. They can wear a hat, or make one. For aspiring hatters mad or otherwise, there'll hat making sessions for children starting at 11am and 1pm. Also new this year will be donkey rides for children. Four gorgeous donkeys will work all day to give the children a memorable ride around Goose Green. 11am to 4pm, admission free.

If you're interested in citizens' digital rights, please come and visit our stall at the fair today to find out more. We have past reports to give away and plenty of other information, plus our able volunteers can answer any questions you may have.

Blimey what with all the outside tables of the various catering establishments along that end of Lordship Lane being packed out it was like Brighton sea front on a sunny bank holiday! The Fair was great value - too late for the home-made cakes - but the Blue Mountain banana cake was nice. Astonishingly long queues for the donkeys and the bouncy-thing. It seemed like every family in SE22 was there. I hope the weather is as good for the one in Dulwich Park next Sunday - isn't that the one where they are having the Mad Hatter's thing though?


Oh and I did pick up some stuff from the Open Rights Group stall as well :)) - and sampled the lovely bread, olive oil and ham on the Locale one...mmmm>:D<


Kudos to the EDT for allowing 8 million people access to their toilets...:))

Yeah... it's a real pain when pubs make a point of pasting-up 'customers only' signs when there's an event nearly with limited bog facilities.

Though I expect being able to flog their booze on the green was something of a sweetener.

I saw those "I Love SE22" bags too - thought they were fab until I saw the ?10 price tag!

I'd have been surprised if they sold any as the "Dulwich Going Greener" jute bags were being sold for ?2 each! I saw plenty of people wandering around with them!


All in all I thought it was a fabulous day! Great to see so many EDF's there too - and I think we were indeed one of the last groups to leave the Green!

    • Another bite for JAGS ( James Allen Girls school) classes are excellent too. There is also Dulwich boys but less light and airy )might be better nor as haven’t been for a while) 
    • Photos. Every single piece of litter in that photo (if you enlarge it you can see lots more pieces) was dropped by the bin men in the background. I don't blame them - it would destroy their backs to pick it all up. Perhaps they should try to not drop so much litter in the first place...  These photos were taken on the 1st March - a Saturday. The street cleaner, who does an excellent job around Underhill Road and Melford Road, bags up the rubbish and leaves them on a Thursday generally. They are supposed to be collected the same day or the next day at the latest. They weren't collected. The first photo was November. It was a very large number of poo bags. I reported it to Southwark but they took 3 days to collect it. In the meantime the bags were squashed and the faeces was spread everywhere, photo 2. It would mean that everyone who walked along that bit of road will have spread it a bit further, along with the vehicles, so that it went into a lot of people's houses.  Over to you Sue. In this photo you can see the litter that was dropped by the bin men (I feel bad as they are really nice and work really hard often going into people's properties to get the bins that weren't put out - usually at a semi-jog speed; it must be exhausting and its not their fault that Southwark doesn't give them enough time to do their job properly. Maybe they should sack their team of EDF astro-turfers to save some money?), the split blue bag with some birds sorting the contents on the pavement, and the refuse truck in the background. I don't blame the workers, I blame Southwark. I am also annoyed at you, Sue, for saying this is an exaggeration and is basically a lie; something you do all over the forum (along with the cycling trolls). I have a lot more pictures too.
    • No need to provoke you since you respond constantly to everything. It is not a gross exaggeration - I took photos. Do you not like people answering back? A bit head girl aren't you. Unkempt roads and weed-lifted pavements with dog faces bags all over the place - when the blue bags, which are regularly not collected by the LA, are split open by foxes. Again, I have photos.
