The 21st Dulwich Festival returns next weekend, with the usual “local-festival” mix of history, music and a fete.
Many of the events need booking in advance, and even though tickets only went on sale a few days ago, at least one is sadly sold out.
Some of the history talks sound interesting, as does a walking tour of the local area’s street art, which I now learn is based on Baroque era paintings from the Dulwich Picture Gallery.
A music thingy along the lost Effra river might be something to look out for.
