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.
