Critically acclaimed author and broadcaster Melvyn Bragg will discuss his latest novel Now is the Time, a rich and compelling tale set in the heart of the Peasants? Revolt of 1381.


Tickets are ?18.99 for entry + a signed hardback copy of Now Is The Time or entry only for ?10.00.(plus booking fee). www.dulwichliteraryfestival.co.uk


As a virulent plague grips England, Richard II?s counsellors bring news of growing resistance to his crippling new taxes. When the fourteen-year-old king sends armed commissioners to claim his money, the commoners revolt, throwing his sovereignty into serious jeopardy.


Leaving his beloved family at home in Kent, Wat Tyler leads tens of thousands of rebels in an impassioned march on London. But Wat and his followers will soon learn that passion may not be enough to secure the outcome they desire. Wat will have to tread the precarious path of high politics and combat the stammering, vain boy-king Richard and his manipulative mother, Joan. Masterfully blending fact and fiction in a tale of power and justice, religion, loyalty and ethics, Melvyn Bragg brings alive the momentous episode in English history that saw our island?s first democratic uprising.


Tickets can be booked online: www.dulwichliteraryfestival.co.uk via email: [email protected], via telephone: 020 8670 1920 or pop into Dulwich Books on Croxted Road SE21 8SW

      Ear piercing for 10 year old

      I would'nt go locally I'd go to Maria Tash in Liberty..it'll be more expensive but they will do a good job and its their buisness not a 'sideline' to other beauty offerings. https://www.mariatash.com/store-locations/maria-tash-london-liberty?srsltid=AfmBOoqMz7Ev-4YqzrlkePX0n3i5JbiggGYSR9kU5z1p_ajP_jjQKqlt I have no experience of piercing at Polished but I went in to enquire about a manicure and I found the staff attitude pretty rude, looking me up and down when I walked in and just giving off a bad attitude like they just could'nt be bothered maybe because I'm not a glam 30 something? I dont know.

      Bonne maman jam jars

      By PINKSHARK78 · Posted

      Hi everyone, I was wondering if anyone here buys Bonne Maman jam? I’d love to upcycle the empty jars if you're planning to throw them out. I'm hoping to make my own jam and would really appreciate using those cute jars for it. Thanks

      Cleaning up old Harvester

      There's been a pub/inn (The Green Man) on that site for hundreds of years. Shown on Rocques map 1746. A mixed redevelopment pub/affordable residential/commercial maybe some lower cost offices/studios would help refresh this area. Skatepark must stay surely.  Looks a lot of fun. and much needed on the area. There has to be a pub of some sort.  The rationalisation of the pedestrian crossing is long overdue (it used to be a Zebra crossing years ago) and much welcomed. Hopefully this could encourage greater use of Cox's Walk and the woods. If we had somewhere to eat and drink at the end of a walk through the woods. Or for those old enough who have used the skatepark, it could be an attraction again. The Dulwich Estate need to get off their obsession with corporate tenants (although to be fair they have allowed some independent commercial tenants into some of the smaller premises) and get a smaller, more agile, pub operator in there.
