@HerneHillFest Herne Hill Music Festival's community opera matchfunding appeal is down to less than a week - it expires on July 31st!


It remains short of target, please see the campaign page at http://gogetfunding....t/noye-s-fludde and make a donation or spread the word if you can! The page also includes a more detailed cost breakdown.


Based on a Mystery Play, Britten wrote this opera to be performed mostly by children and by amateur musicians. The Festival hopes to perform this amazing opera on the last day of its 2014 Festival, Sunday 19th October. It's an ambitious undertaking - the performance will involve pupils from local schools as well as a large number of local musicians, the Calton Quartet, and two professional singers. The Festival hopes to stage it at St Faith's Church in Red Post Hill.


It's also topical given the recent flood in Herne Hill!


HHMF has been granted ?1,000 by Dulwich Community Council towards the cost of the performance, but the Festival needs to match this through a crowd-source funding appeal. The remaining costs will be covered by ticket sales. http://www.hernehillfestival.org/

    • But all those examples sell a wide variety of things,  and mostly they are well spread out along Lordship Lane. These two shops both sell one very specific thing, albeit in different flavours, and are just across the road from each other. I don't think you can compare the distribution of shops in Roman times to the distribution of shops in Lordship Lane in the twenty first century. Well, you can, but it doesn't feel very appropriate. Haa anybody asked the first shop how they feel? Are they happy about the "healthy competition" ?
    • ED is included in the 17 August closure set (or just possibly 15 August, depending on which part of the page you trust more) listed at https://metro.co.uk/2025/07/25/full-list-25-poundland-stores-confirmed-close-august-23753048/. Here incidentally are some snippets from their annual reports, at https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/company/02495645/filing-history. 2022: " during the period we opened 41 stores and closed 43 loss-making/under-performing stores.  At the period-end we were trading from 821 stores in the UK, IoM and ROI. ... "We renogotiated 82 leases in the year, saving on average 45% versus the prior lease agreement..." 2023: "We also continued to improve our market footprint through sourcing better store locations, opening 53 and closing 51 stores during the year." 2024:  "The ex-Wilco stores acquired in the prior year have formed a core part of this strategy to expand our store network.  We favour quality over quantity and during the period we opened 84 stores and closed 71 loss-making/under-performing ones."
    • Ha! After I posted this, I thought of lots more examples. Screwfix and the hardware store? Mrs Robinson and Jumping Bean? Chemists, plant shops, hairdressers...  the list goes on... it's good to have healthy competition  Ooooh! Two cheese shops
    • You've got a point.  Thinking Leyland and Screwfix too but this felt different.
