What is planned?

The organiser has announced a friendly programme designed for families and local residents. Activities include:

  • Family games and creative activities
  • Arts and crafts
  • Interactive workshops
  • Tai Chi and wellbeing sessions
  • Martial arts demonstrations
  • Belly dancing and salsa performances
  • Community information and local organisations

The programme begins with activities and a welcome, followed by demonstrations and dance performances. Details may be adjusted on the day, so treat the published timings as a useful guide rather than a strict schedule.

Food and spending

Entry is free. The organiser suggests a voluntary £5 donation to support its community work, but donating is not required. A picnic-style area will be available and visitors can bring their own food, which makes it easy to keep the whole afternoon inexpensive.

Getting there

Nunhead Community Centre is at 5 Nunhead Green. Nunhead railway station is a short walk away, and local buses serve the surrounding streets. Check your route before leaving because weekend transport can change.
