South Norwood Community Festival Croydon

Our festival is a one-day music, arts, crafts and food festival for the community (and everyone else) organised by the community of South Norwood. It's fully inclusive, free to attend and whilst food is sold at the festival, we encourage families to bring a picnic and sit on the grass in the sun, enjoying the day. As well as music, children's activities, a mini funfair, food, arts and crafts, there are also a number of organisations who provide support to residents in attendance. Unfortunately due to the terms of our licence with the council, you can't bring alcohol or dogs into the grounds for the duration of the festival. More information follows below.
