Peckham Rye LPT Posted May 19, 2016 Share Posted May 19, 2016 Good afternoon all, any views on how the Peckham Rye festival went last weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cedges Posted May 19, 2016 Share Posted May 19, 2016 I didn't know that there was a Peckham Rye Festival last weekend - I think there is probably some useful feedback in that fact alone! (and I have been in previous years).I will caveat that I had been on holiday in the week lead up and I rarely look at the whats on pages on this forum anymore. I did however know about the west Dulwich and Dulwich fairs last Saturday and Sunday and I'm generally 'the one in the know' within my social group for local stuff (I'm observant and read stuff!). I live in SE15 but near to East Dulwich Station and increasingly split my time 50/50 in ED and Peckham. Sorry to have missed it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pickle Posted May 19, 2016 Share Posted May 19, 2016 When was it on?! I ran around the rye in Saturday, and spent a chunk of time there on Sunday, and didn't see anything! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Otta Posted May 19, 2016 Share Posted May 19, 2016 I think it was more a case of lots of small events at various venues around Peckham rather than a big event on the Rye.All very electronic from what I could tell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeremy Posted May 19, 2016 Share Posted May 19, 2016 Cedges/Pickle, it wasn't in the park, it was a music festival in the bars and venues around Peckham.TBH in many ways it was like a normal Saturday night in Peckham, with places like the Bussey, Canavans, Four Quarters, etc, all pretty busy. The main difference was that you got a wristband allowing you into all the different venues.I assume the OP is asking from a policing point of view... but not sure I have a lot to add, it all felt friendly, good-natured and safe to me. But I bailed out shortly after 2am, so couldn't comment on anything that may have happened after that... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

titch juicy Posted May 23, 2016 Share Posted May 23, 2016 I've never heard of the Peckham Rye Festival, which is a real shame cos looking at the link above, it would be right up my street. Literally and metaphorically.Juan Atkins playing in Peckham?!?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cedges Posted May 23, 2016 Share Posted May 23, 2016 Ah I see - in which case I had seen something about this but hadn't realised what it was called. I'd never heard of anyone playing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Electronic music is - generally speaking - not my bag. But it seemed like a good excuse for a night out. And I like the concept of wandering between different venues and seeing what's going on.

Siduhe Posted May 23, 2016 Share Posted May 23, 2016 There was another thread on the festival in the ED section which is how I found out about it - http://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/forum/read.php?5,1616417,1633696#msg-1633696 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pilsbury Posted May 25, 2016 Share Posted May 25, 2016 I went and loved it! Could deffo have done with a bit more PR though... Went to Bussey, Canavans, White Horse (that was pants though), then back to Bussey... had to get back for babysitter around 2.30am, but really liked it, good vibes, good mix of people, great music. Deffo room for expansion next year! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tessie Posted March 18, 2017 Share Posted March 18, 2017 Good to find nice feedback on Peckham Rye Music Festival here Pilsbury.. It's something my partner is heavily involved with.Peckham Rye music Festival is happening again this year (2017) taking part in some of the same venues around Peckham as well as a few new ones. It's now in an expanded format - spread over two consecutive weekends ( with a week of community focused fringe events happening in between.

Vik Posted March 18, 2017 Share Posted March 18, 2017 No, that was this:Saturday 18 March‪: Southwark Presents Spring Waking6pm ? 7.15pm. Start from East Dulwich Community Centre. As winter turns into spring and darkness turns into light, we celebrate a time of change and transformation. Spring Waking, commissioned by Southwark Council, is a new dazzling event for East Dulwich. Emergency Exit Arts and Output Arts are very excited to be creating this outdoor show with support through GfA.

Jules-and-Boo Posted March 19, 2017 Share Posted March 19, 2017 didn't hear or see anything about that. Would have come along.Can someone please tell Southwark Council to invest the money in more community spirited events like this (and notices for it - I'd happily have printed many off!) rather than new lamp posts.What is the method of communications so we don't miss anything else?

nxjen Posted March 19, 2017 Share Posted March 19, 2017 Great shame it wasn't publicised more. Final parade was quite an impressive sight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sue Posted March 19, 2017 Share Posted March 19, 2017 That was very poorly advertised.I heard drumming last night and looked out of my front door to see the procession going down North Cross Road past the end of my road.I and I'm sure lots of other people would have liked to know about this.Where was it advertised, exactly​?

sunbob Posted March 21, 2017 Share Posted March 21, 2017 A lot of local schools were the involved so I guess the adults were mostly parents. There were a couple of open workshops at a local church and community centre too, so I guess only a narrow section of the neighbourhood would have seen the flyers. It was lovely so I feel sorry that some missed it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
