May’s Feast falls on a Bank Holiday weekend so even more reason to celebrate! This month, you’ll notice that Fresh ‘n’ Green have moved homes. The hub will now be based just outside the West Norwood Library and Picturehouse. We hope you all like its new home and will pay your favourites a visit.

Continuing with our 2019 theme of encouraging sustainable living, we have a number of ‘Green Stalls’ at our Family Hub to give you some inspiration: Groundwork London, whose work involves transforming communities into greener areas, will be hosting an interactive quiz at their stall where you can learn about food waste and what we can do to prevent it.
Feast is proud to offer a limited number of community stalls, free of charge to local charities, community groups and non profit organisations who wish to engage with the visitors at Feast. Residing this month is independent cinema group Screen 25 and West Norwood’s very own South London Theatre, where you can find out what cultural events the local area has to offer.
