Tickets ?5 or ?3 Concessions

In advance from www.dulwichfestival.co.uk or on the door at The Patch pub (formerly The Magdala), Lordship Lane (junction with Pellat Road)


Guardian Journalist and campaigning author Felicity Lawrence leads the Dulwich Festival Debate about the future for Britain's food. Lawrence has set the pace uncovering the scandals around food safety - uncovering the trail of horsemeat across Europe and investigating the links between organised crime and adulterated food. She is joined by Martin Caraher, Professor of Food Policy at City University, Maria Devereaux - sustainable food campaigner and co-founder of local vegbox scheme Local Greens, and Ben Patten from new sustainable food business model, farmdrop.co.uk.


How can you know what you are buying is what it says it is? Is the answer just to buy from farmers' markets and vegbox schemes? And how many people can afford to do that? Can everyone buy local? Or is it just a hobby for affluent foodies? The Dulwich Festival Food panel will be trying to answer a few of the big questions on Friday. How big can Local Food go? If you care about the future of your food, come and join in the conversation?

      New Empanada Place on LL

      Surely only where the local businesses offer clear advantages, otherwise you are rewarding what should be failure. I want to be served by a better bakery than Gail's, not a worse but local independent one. Certainly give a local independent some time to get the offer right, but don't buy goods which are worse and or more expensive just because the outlet isn't a chain.

      Let’s just boycott all chains in favour of local businesses.  Places like Gail’s popping up everywhere has a very damaging impact on small businesses. It’s just the same as the new empanadas place but on a bigger scale. I’ll say it a million times more, we hold the power with our choices. Let’s use our power to look after ourselves and our environment (which includes small local family businesses). And yes, I also love Chacarero.

      Is Rachel Reeves becoming the new Liz Truss?

      You know that the top 1% of earners pay 30% of all total tax in the UK right? If they leave who picks up the tax slack? This is an inconvenient truth ignored by many. This is why Labour did a u-turn on non-doms because they started leaving and left the Treasury with a growing tax hole to fill.
