Sydenham Arts Festival

United Kingdom
05 July, 2014 - 20 July, 2014

Sydenham Arts Festival is an annual celebration of music, theatre, dance, art, film, spoken word, outdoor and family events – taking place in venues both familiar and unusual in and around Sydenham for two weeks every July. It transforms non-conventional spaces into performance and exhibition venues: Pubs, churches, halls, parks, shops, libraries, schools and the high street. And more than half of its events every year are completely free!

In 2014 the festival will feature more than 65 events including a prestigious poetry event with Jackie Kay and John Hegley; community musical, Till the Boys Come Home, marking the centenary of WW1; another Stage Write Playwriting Showcase, free theatre on the bus 202 x 12, and a high-profile open-air music event, Arts in the Park Till Late to close the proceedings. Invited artists at this closing event include Glenn Tilbrook (of Squeeze) and Janet Kay & Carroll Thompson (“Silly Games”).
