Join us for a cosy, intimate evening of film and music inspired by the natural world.
The night begins with a screening of Return, a new RSPB film celebrating the comeback of the white-tailed eagle to the UK’s skies. Featuring voices including sound artist Alice Boyd, RSPB ambassador Dave Sexton and Flock Together’s Nadeem Perera, the film tells a powerful story of resilience, rewilding and our relationship with nature.
After the screening, Alice will perform a 30-40 minute set with her band, weaving together folk-inspired harmonies, ambient electronics and field recordings.
Alice Boyd is a musician and sound artist based in South London. Her work explores our interconnectedness with the natural world and reveals the hidden sounds of our environments. She created the BBC Radio 4 documentary Shifting Soundscapes, retracing the footsteps of field recordist Martyn Stewart, and produces Found Sounds, a monthly series for Ffern’s As the Season Turns podcast. Her practice spans music, performance and spatial installations, with projects for organisations including the RSPB, Kew’s Wakehurst, Eden Project and TOAST.
This special evening at Brockwell Greenhouses offers a chance to gather in community, experience the story of the white-tailed eagle, and sink into a performance that explores our interconnectedness with the living world.

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.
Getting to Us
BPCG is in the middle of Brockwell Park, between the tennis courts and the walled gardens. Follow the signs.
Please arrive in groups and be sure to have a torch or use your phone torches. All park gates are open 24/7, but we recommend coming to us via the gate by the Lido.
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.
Book your food with your ticket to avoid disappointment.
Food will be vegetarian, but unfortunately we cannot cater for any other dietary requirements.
