The Peckham and Nunhead Free Film Festival returns from 4 to 13 September with free cinema, workshops and community screenings in unusual local venues.
The quick version
A strong free local programme
The festival is run by volunteers and uses neighbourhood spaces rather than one cinema. Grouping the programme here makes it easier to understand, while the official listings provide the exact rules for each screening.
Festival dates: Friday 4 to Sunday 13 September 2026
Price: Free
Area: Peckham, Nunhead and nearby venues
Note: A pre-festival film quiz is also listed for Wednesday 2 September

What to expect
The published programme ranges from Blue Velvet, Moonlight and Human Traffic to Paddington 2, A Bug’s Life, short films and practical workshops. That makes it suitable for different audiences, but not every title is family-friendly.
Plan the screening, not just the film
Check the individual page for the venue, certificate, start time and whether a reservation is required. Outdoor events can change with the weather; popular indoor screenings can fill before the advertised start.
