Definitely worth a look Donna - lots of very good food and drink, arty-crafty stalls and live music plus bouncy castle/slide and donkey rides for the kids - very busy last year and a lot of fun in a chaotic noisy colourful kind of way.


ETA: you can check out last year's fair (including pre and post reactions) here

There will be a Goose Is Out! live music stage at the Fair on Goose Green on Sunday, from 11.30am to 4pm.


11.30am - Dulwich Folk Choir


12 midday - James Riley


1pm - The Dulwich Ukulele Club


2pm - The John McLean Band


3pm - The Shakermakers


And here is some information about them all!


The Dulwich Folk Choir.


Led by Aimee Leonard, who has recently moved here from Orkney, this will be the first public performance from this enthusiastic local choir, who will be singing a few traditional songs in three part harmony.


James Riley


Described by Reverbnation as "A fiendishly proficient guitarist and singer", and still only 24, local lad James has turned heads the world over - he has appeared on the same bill as blues legend Buddy Guy in Chicago.


The Dulwich Ukulele Club


This local big band with small guitars rocks up a storm wherever they go. "The Dulwich Ukulele Club are a must see. No kidding." The Guardian.


The John McLean Band


Local folk, blues and soul legend John McLean returns again to Goose Green following his fantastic performance at the Dulwich Festival Fair last year. John sings from the heart, and it shows in the warmth that exudes from the stage whenever he plays.


The Shakermakers


Finishing the afternoon's live music are seven musicians who hail from the heart of East Dulwich. "The best blues and R&B band in South East London" - Rock 'n' Reel. Don't miss them!

Yes, it is a great day if the weather is good. Well worth a visit.


We will have the Peckham Residents? Network stall there as usual with the latest news from Peckham Vision, Southwark Rail Users' Group, and Peckham Society about the shared campaigns to improve Peckham town centre and local rail services (including East Dulwich rail); also with Bellenden Residents' Group info. Friends of Goose Green also will have a stall. So if you get there do come and look for us and say hello, and also enjoy what is usually a good fun day on our wonderful Goose Green open space. It would be great to see some EDF regulars in person!

I'll be helping on my husband's stall on Goose Green this Sunday and Dulwich Park next week. We'll be selling greetings cards and his brand new range of prints for children's rooms from his company Rootytoot, plus some delicious cupcakes. Come and have a look and say hello, the weather is meant to be good!!

...and don't forget the Dulwich Park Fair on the closing Sunday of the Festival, 20 May, from 12-6pm. Dog show, punch and judy, hog roasts and ethnic food, falconry, blacksmith, stalls selling arts, crafts and lots more.


This will also be your chance to input to Southwark on the Hepworth replacement. They are having a stand next to the site from which the sculpture was stolen. Some local artists have also created a small 'Homage to the Hepworth' exhibition for a marquee on the site.

There were so many cupcake stalls some had to be ironic... but there were plenty of cushions there too - and 'hand crafted' jewellery - and some bizarre rags on string being sold as bunting - and several ways of emptying your wallet on creams, lotions and potions designed to create a new and beautiful you... (no gollies that I could see this year though)


...but also a rash of crepe stalls, the excellent Melange choccy stall, a great macaroon stall and the usual beer, jerk, sausage and paella stalwarts.

      Nursery school

      Not sure about changing hands but the Peckham Rye one is open and hasn’t had any random closures. Our child is very happy there but there was a resolved Ofsted complaint half way through last year.  Things don’t look good for the Devon nursery owned by the same company - looks like loads of issues with Ofsted which can be seen in its latest report.

      Have a great nhs dentist accepting patients

      By Sue · Posted

      I was in Forest Hill Road today, just past the Rye, and noticed there is a dentist next to the Herne (pub) that has NHS signs outside. I've never had any problems getting NHS dental treatment in East Dulwich, and I get regular check ups. I've been to three  different dental practices here over the years, all with NHS treatment. I think the difficulties are in other parts of the country. Malumbu has a good explanation above. I didn't hear the Radio 4 programme, but I'm guessing that a  radio programme is not going to have time to say where you CAN easily get NHS treatment, and is bound to focus on the negatives and the horror stories, otherwise it would be very boring! ETA: Re children's teeth, I think the major issue is not lack of dentists, it is children being given sugary food, drinks and confectionery which rots their teeth. The education of parents needs to be about this, not just about tooth brushing. And in some cases the poor diet may also be due to lack of money for healthy food. Though of course the lack of dentists doesn't help, if  the tooth rotting can't be rectified by fillings or extraction.

      Boycotting US products

      Well, I hope you like what you see, the hot air, lack of answers and continual blaming things on the last Government and the made up blackhole, I find are nauseating. The man needs to see reality, because I'd guess that if we had a snap election tomorrow and based on the first six months of this parliament, Labour would get trounced. When the election does finally happen and if that isn't before the people rise up and throw this lot out, Labour will not be voted back in for a millennium.
