Ice skating on Hilly Fields - It's on, like Michelle Kwan
We've had a few inquiries from readers who can't quite believe that there will be ice skating in Hilly Fields this weekend. Here's the press release from BrocSoc, confirming it and providing more details about the Brockley Design Festival:
Enjoy skating on a synthetic ice rink at Hilly Fields, alongside craft stalls, refreshments, creative activities and consultation [sic].
Saturday 19th November, 12 noon-7pm
Sunday 20th November, 12 noon-4pm
Tennis Courts, Hilly Fields Park, Brockley, SE4 1LE
Cost: £2 for skate hire and 20 minutes skating. Under 7s must be accompanied on the ice.
This is the launch event for the Brockley Design Festival, a six-month programme of fun ‘pop-up’ events, put together by a collection of local designers, artists and community groups, including Brockley Society and Brockley Cross Action Group.
As well as a café, creative consultation activities will take place alongside the rink, to provoke debate and encourage ideas about how a little re-imagining could improve parts of our area.
What is the Brockley Design Festival?
Stage 1: A series of fun and creative events based around Brockley and surrounds. At each event there will be an opportunity to put your views across on issues relating to our area and built environment through discussion and consultation.
Stage 2: Local artists, designers and architects will work collaboratively to come up with proposals that address some of the local issues raised. Work to include joint projects with community groups.
Stage 3: A free public exhibition of the design proposals at a local venue to engage interest and gather feedback.
Stage 4: We will work to attract public or private funding to help bring some of the ideas that you come up with to life.
