The Irish Festival is one of the few local events I cannot find fault with, loved it for years now and well done to everyone involved for yet another fun packed day for everyone. If I have one minor annoyance it would be the fact that the rubbish isnt cleared off the rye, broken glass bottles, people using the doggy bins to put other rubbish in (and then coming on here moaning when dog owners dont do a s*it pick etc), but overall excellent.

Population of Ireland: 5,981,448

Global Irish Population: 80,000,000


These statistics always crack me up. Everyone wants to be Irish I suppose. I went along with my own genuine Irish beauty to this and can mostly echo everyone else's praise. My highlights included seeing a 60-something lady so drunk she had to be reluctantly carried home by her grown up kids and the PA telling people to leave the public park


I remain less convinced as to the new breed of Irish dancing which apparently involves latex bodysuits and arabic-style flouncing and body caressing! Apparently, if you add a fiddle, you're grand, so. It was most entertaing to watch the old Irish gents with their jaws dropping at such spectacles though.


Any chance of getting better burger/ice cream vans next year? Both were crazily overpriced and rubbish.

    • Hello,  Does anyone know of a garage to rent in the East Dulwich area?  Best,  Anthony 
    • So glad to give support in any small way. It happens more often than you think. I live near a footpath anf once came home from holiday to find that someone had poured paint through the bottom of the fence which had run all down through my soil and on to my plants. It was a job trying to dig out all the contaminated soil and to this day I still find bits of paint in the soil. No idea who it was or why they would do such a thing.
    • Glad this is back on, looking forward to seeing you all tonight
