Re: Sydenham Arts Festival
Just wondering what everyone has enjoyed so far in the festival and what people are planning to see? I haven't seen anything yet but am planning to check out the 2nd weekend of the art trail and also the Family Disco Dayz at the end of July! I think its pretty cool how many events have been put on this year. Hoping this goes from strength to strength!

I am sorry, Iris, I am claiming back this space to advertise other events which are happening over the next 8 days. The BIG LUNCH on Sunday 18 July in Mayow Park, which we all hope will be a BIG SUCCESS, already has a dedicated thread on Sydenham Town Forum. Pat x

Re: Sydenham Arts Festival
I'd like to say a BIG MASSIVE THANK YOU to all of those kind people around Sydenham who opened up their homes to display the wonderful range of art in Sydenham over the last 2 weekends as part of the Arts Trail. It was a delightful way to see the arts, paintings, sculptures, pottery and jewellery. The Recycled house was amazing! My friends and I thoroughly enjoyed the leisurely stroll round the trail and were met with such generous hospitality by all the hosts. A lovely way to spend the weekend. I know that the arts trail continues in the local shops and businesses. Am looking forward to it next year. So thanks to you all.
