So here we go again...!

The sixth Sydenham Arts Festival - one of the jewels in the crown of SE London - starts today (Sat 5 July) and as always, there really is something for everyone!

Last year's festival was one of the sunniest (& warmest) yet, so let's hope the rain gods smile on us during the next two weeks - as proceedings kick off with the amazing free STREET CELEBRATION in Sydenham Road

Tomorrow (Sun 6 July) sees the first part of our huge-scale community musical TILL THE BOYS COME HOME, marking the centenary of the start of WW1. The free performance at Livesey Memorial Hall is effectively sold out, but we may have some standing room on the day - see you there!

Also this weekend, don't miss children's author Alexis Deacon at Kirkdale Bookshop for SPECIAL GUEST STORYTIME (10.30-11am)

and on Sunday evening Metamono bring their unique mix of analog electronic music and silent film to the exotic locale of Zanzibar Nightclub for SECRETS OF NATURE: SOUNDS UNSEEN
