Free Events for Families


Recommended Posts

At this year's East Dulwich Literary Festival, we have a couple of FREE events for families. It would be fantastic to see you there. Tickets will be required for these, but they are available from Rye Books, or you can reserve them by emailing [email protected].

It would be great to see you there - do contact me if you have any questions.

Thursday 26th June, 7.30pm: Open Air Performance of Treasure Island

When their ship is stranded at sea on a windless day, Captain Jim Hawkins and his loyal crew while away the time telling old sailors? tales. And Captain Jim?s tale is always the most popular...

With a host of wild characters and events, from Billy Bones to the threatening Blind Pew and the ?Black Spot?, the pirate?s mutiny on the Hispaniola to the marooned Ben Gunn and the fight at the stockade on the isle where Captain Flint?s treasure is buried, Robert Louis Stevenson?s classic story is brought to theatrical life by Rain or Shine in this new adaptation by James Reynard.

This tale of buccaneers, greed, courage, betrayal and pieces of eight has both humour and brutality and is suitable for adventurers from the age of 6 to 106. Jim Hawkins invites you to hear how he came to leave his home, the Admiral Benbow Inn, and make his way across the seas to Treasure Island.


Saturday 28th June, 1.00 ? 5.00pm: Family Fun Day

We?ve got an afternoon of fun for everyone, with child-friendly standup comedy from the Comedy Club 4 Kids, musical performances from local acts, storytelling performances, drama and history workshops, live poetry, talks on local history and stalls selling food, drink and crafts.

    • If you "cotton on" and read the council announcement, it clearly states "The library will be closed from 17 November until late June or early July 2026."  https://www.southwark.gov.uk/2025/dulwich-library-closing-refurbishment
    • I’ve been seeing Lisa at goose green clinic for energy work for a year now.  Lisa is kind, caring and hugely supportive. She is wonderfully masterful and trained as a reiki master for 20 plus years. Alongside other energy work.  My time spent with her is like therapy. An emotional safe space for deep conversations and reflection followed by relaxing and energising healing work.  each experience I’ve had has been different, the end result remains the same. Feel lighter, almost euphoric and almost float home. Definitely an experience not to be missed.  https://www.goosegreenclinic.net/therapies/healing-energy-work/
    • Went there once and were not impressed when they charged £9 for one pot of Chinese tea for 2 people. 
    • What nobody has cotton onto is that Dulwich library will not be available possibly for the Council Elections in May 26. Looks as though Southwark are not confident that the work will be completed by May 26 and are scouting around to find alternative venues.
