We’ll be joined by some of our favourite local charities and organisations, showcasing what they do. From beekeeping to bugs, films to food growing, come and find out how to get involved with your local community.
There will also be a plant sale, live music, free kids craft activities, garden trails, and more ways to celebrate nature during this wonderful season!
We will be joined by brilliant local choirs, Raise the Roof and Dulwich Folk Choir.
Food and refreshments will be available throughout the afternoon. Including a homemade vegetarian meal, tea and cakes, botanical cocktails, local craft beer and organic wine available in the barn.

Please join us to maintain an oasis of peace and natural beauty to which city dwellers can escape from the otherwise relentlessly busy urban surround.
