Autumn Avant Garden Gigs kick off with a bang. Doors open at 5.30pm, with music from 6.00pm. An early evening feast of music, spoken-word and performance. Acoustic, electronic and improvising musicians, story-tellers, artists and poets present a series of short sets, with freshly made local food and drinks available to pre-order and buy on the day.
This month’s performers include:

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.
If you are driving to the gig, we recommend parking your car on Dulwich Road or near Dulwich Road.
Entrance and exit from the Park should be via the Park’s Lido Gates on Dulwich Road.
The park will be dark when you leave the gig so everyone must leave in groups with torches.
