Hi John

Whilst entertainment activities will be concentrated around Lordship Lane (EDT to The Lordship)and North Cross Rd, we will be contacting businesses in the wider area encouraging them to get involved and offer activities, refreshments, promotions and other incentives on the day to encourage the increased numbers of people out and about their way - all of these will appear on an event map and be publicised in the lead up and on the day via the event webpage, on Twitter using the event #hashtag and online forums like East Dulwich, West Dulwich, Herne Hill and local relevant Facebook Groups.

If you have thoughts about the day or would like to get involved then please do feel free to get in contact - my de details were in the initial post.

Regards

Dan
