We put on our Gigs at the Greenhouses to let people hear brilliant music, enjoy our lovely gardens and to raise money so that the community can benefit from BPCG seven days a week.

PAY WHAT YOU CAN

We are offering a Pay What You Can Scheme for these workshops to make them accessible to everyone. We know that ticket price is a huge barrier for some, and the Pay What You Can model offers people who can afford to pay a bit more the chance to support others who can’t.

Getting to us

BPCG is in the middle of Brockwell Park, between the tennis courts and the walled gardens. Follow the signs.

Entrance and exit from the Park should be via the Park’s Lido Gates on Dulwich Road, all other gates will be locked. Please arrive in groups and be sure to have a torch or use your phone torches. Walk up the hill from the Lido, turn left at the tennis courts, then turn right and you will see the Greenhouse gates on your right. Click here to see a map of the route

If you are driving to the gig, we recommend parking your car on Dulwich Road or near Dulwich Road.

The park will also be dark when you leave the gig so everyone must leave in groups with torches.

Food & Drink

Delicious home-made hot food, botanical cocktails, local craft beer and organic wine will be on sale.
