Brockley Bites - take part
The Blythe Hill Festival
The Friends of Blythe Hill Fields, the small park near Brockley Rise, are organising a local arts festival on June 28th and are looking for performers, musicians, artists, stallholders, workshop leaders and volunteers of all kinds to contribute to the festival.
Last year’s festival was a popular event, with games, bands, stalls, donkey rides and a bouncy castle. This year the emphasis is different as they have received funding from the One Lewisham Fund on the agreed basis that the festival will reflect the art, culture and diversity in the local neighbourhood.
We are looking for local people who could give their time, preferably free of charge, to perform or take stalls and showcase their talents. They are particularly keen to have local bands and dance performances as these would suit the outdoor setting.
The festival will help to raise funds to improve the park’s facilities.

Wickham Road books
Kate reports that, over the weekend, someone left a range of old books in a box outside their house, with the invitation for people to help themselves. To show how classy she is, she mentioned the fact that she got a copy of ‘Natasha’s Dance’ by Orlando Figes and would like to pass on her thanks to the former owner of the book. They are now probably all gone or very soggy, but keep an eye out if you’re a fan of Russian history…
