Hello there,


Apologies for the spam, I just wanted to pop by and tell people about this. I know some people who frequent here will be in attendance, so i thought others might be interested too......


Festinho is that perfect little festival that you don?t want to tell everyone about ? because you want to keep it to yourself?


An intimate, friendly festival in a magical setting ? the grounds of Kentwell Hall in Suffolk ? Festinho is a delicious cocktail of eclectic music, sunny Brazilian vibes, a laid-back feel and the extra feelgood factor of being 100% for charity. All profits go to the ABC trust, which helps Brazilian street kids.


You?ll find the cream of up-and-coming talent alongside more famous names across all musical genres, as well as art spaces, film screenings and plenty of Brazilian flavour with capoeira, samba and percussion workshops and demos. If that all gets a bit tiring, grab a perfect caipirinha from the cocktail bar and kick back in a hammock, or bliss out to a massage in the Body and Soul space. When night falls, get lost in the mirrorballs and light installations of the Feel Good Woods ? you?ll find the Disco Shed hidden in a glade, keeping the shedonists dancing all night long. Or just cosy up by the campfire and get some tasty locally-sourced food from the BBQ.


Festinho is family-friendly too, with a play area to keep the small people entertained, high quality camping and plenty of good toilets and hot showers.


A quirky, charming alternative to the festival mammoths, Festinho is living proof that small is very beautiful.


It'd be great if some of you could make it,


Emily x

    • This is simply untrue. The area is not 2/3 storeys maximum. Hambledon Court is on the other side of tracks from the Jewson site on Burrow Rd, is 8 storeys, and is barely known (let alone bothersome) to most people in East Dulwich. Felbridge House, Petworth House etc on the opposite side of the station from the new development are all 5 storeys tall. East Dulwich Charter (which neighbours the new development) is itself 4-5 storeys (depending on which block you're talking about). What's more, Hambledon Court was finished in about 1978 iirc and no-one has built anything similar around here since then - so the "slippery slope" "genie in the bottle" argument doesn't work either. You can't simultaneously argue that Southwark is too slow in approving new construction but also suggest this will lead to a flood of new high-rise housing! At current rates of approval, we can expect our next 8 storey building to arrive in...2072!
    • I checked - the Hanway Street place was Mandeer - it moved to New Oxford Street I think and was replaced by Hakkasan - very different prices. 
    • Suppose it depends on how many Christmas cards from family and friends you’re waiting to receive. It’s been the Christmas period so surely give the post delivery service some leeway. Like Sue I’ve not posted off so many this year but some I still write letters to  e.g my late mum’s cousins and other family  but hey ho that’s something I do and enjoy.  I used to hand deliver Christmas cards to a lot of neighbours on my street but gave up this year as realised that most of them I don’t see or speak to and can only count on a few to call a true friend or neighbour.
