What's on over the long weekend?

[Jamma]

I've got a toddler and my OAP parents to entertain this weekend. I figured there'd be lots going on in the local area but am really struggling beyond what's on at the DPG and the various goings on at the local pubs (which aren't any good for the toddler). Saw a poster in Bushell's window for the Crystal Palace Easter Carnival - anyone know more about that? Or indeed anyone have any useful suggestions as to what's going on in East Dulwich and environs?

Lots of the pubs are toddler friendly now (in the day).

You could always check out the 'What on in East Dulwich' section ;-)

Hi Jamma,

The Herne Tavern is very family friendly with a lovely big garden which has a climbing frame. They are holding an easter egg hunt on Sat 11th and there will be a mini makeover photo studio with dressing up and face painting.

Horse Meat Disco is on at the Eagle in Vauxhall on Sunday. Not sure how child-friendly it is.

[MsJ]

I can't imagine the horse meat disco is particularly OAP friendly either Lenk!

Is that like the Farmers Market that you get in Clapham??

A stroll across Dulwich Park and have a coffee and an illegal cake with cream.

Please stay on topic

Highly recommend a walk around Dulwich Common area, and up around Cox's Walk and the woods. If the weather is nice there is nothing better, maybe even a drink in a few pubs (not the Grove though).

hibbs - I looked in the what's on section but there was nothing much there. Having started this thread I now realise that's because there's nothing much on. It's a bit disappointing really. To the National Trust website...

Get yourself to the Herne Hill velodrome for the Good Friday meeting. Lot's of big(ish) track stars to be seen!

Looks good that - heavy rain tomorrow though :(

[Sandperson]

Yeah, I think we are trying to will it away as I am not sure what will happen if it chucks it down. Still there are other events down there throughout the summer!

Get yourself down to the Crapitol (J.D Wetherspoons) on London rd Forest hill for an afternoon session that involves sitting in a deathly silent shithole where the only other drinkers livers paked in years ago and are only being kept alive by the heat of the radiator and ramnble random and bizzare Mick Oirish drivle into their pint glass pausing only to give the dog a 'Top up'. You'll then feel the overwhelming sense doom and wasted opportunity sweeping through your body only being broken from the spell once you've seen a pidgeon shit in your pint.

Beers cheap though.

Hey, that sounds good :))

Weekend solved then :)-D

[beef]

Hornimans Museum for the oldies, picnic with views across london (including the wembley arch), then the newly refurished playground opposite for the newies, rounded off with a game of hide'n'seek in the Sydenham Hill Woods. Perfect, no?

[PeckhamRose]

LONDON is on at the weekend.

Loads of free things to do.

Just get a bus to the river and walk and explore and have fun.

After tomorrow, the weather looks GREAT.

Go to Mudchute City Farm Isle of Dogs. About 4pm they feed the llamas and they come out and say hello.
