Camberwell Fair is back for a second year (in its current incarnation†) on the 20th August. But it’s moved from last year’s location, on the Green, to Burgess Park. And unlike last year, there’s no ticket requirement, so everyone should have an opportunity to visit.
The Wormfood stage will showcase music from around the world, including Nubiyan Twist, Jus Now, K.O.G & The Zongo Brigade, Jally Kebba Susso, The London Lucumi Choir, Peckham Chamber Orchestra. The Camberwell stage will give space for local artists including Shahlaa Tahira & more.
There will also be food and a craft market (all stallholders to be confirmed). For the booze lovers there’ll be cocktails — including from Louie Louie, a new bar on the Walworth Road by the people at Fowlds — and from local brewers, Orbit.
The fair runs from 12pm to 9pm, but if you fancy some more when it’s over there’ll be an afterparty at Brixton Hootananny, with more music from some of the artists appearing in the afternoon.
† The original fair ran until 1855, and was reknowned for its rowdiness.
