not a massive room no bob, but that end of the main bar combined with the ante-room should be sufficiently away from the music to be confortable for everyone


Getting there is easy - I normally cut down from top of DKH, and it's a 3 minute walk from there - so any bus that takes you up or down DKH should be fine (and more frequent than a P13!)

Blimey, you don't need to get a bus!


Walk up to East Dulwich Station, cross the road, walk a little way up Dog Kennel Hill, turn right through the estate, right at the top, left into Ivanhoe Road - it's a five to ten minute walk from Goose Green :)

Eh? It's, erm, a road which runs through the estate on Dog Kennel Hill, yes.


If you don't want to mix with the riff-raff :-S you can take the next road on the right instead, but I do it on my own every Goose night at Hoopers with no problem, last time in the dark :-S


Edited to say: People who live on council estates don't bite, you know.

I don't actually live on one, Brendan, so I can't speak for myself :)

Why is this thread always in the lounge, rather than in "What's on"??


I never knew about the forum drinks for ages because I never went into the lounge section, and I'm sure a lot of other forum readers don't either :-S


I only found out about the drinks because there was a reference to them on another thread in another section.

Haven't we had this discussion before? It's always been in The Lounge - don't know why but it seems that most people find it ok here. I would have thought more people look in The Lounge than look at the What's On section. But if people choose not to look in one section it's likely that they will miss quite a few things.

I know a lot of people who use the forum to find out what's going on in East Dulwich, not to "relax and chat" as the description of the lounge section says.


Of course people find this thread OK here, because they're the ones who use the lounge!


Those who don't use the lounge won't know the thread exists, so they won't know whether it's OK here or not!


What other "quite a few things" would they miss in the lounge? The song game, jokes, rants .... busy people don't have time for all that (unless like me they're looking for any excuse not to get on with their work :) )

    • 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
