Southwark Council’s cultural strategy.
Outdoor events form an important part of Southwark Council’s cultural strategy. The strategy outlines our commitment to support the long term ambition of Southwark being the first choice for people to live, work, study and visit. In delivering the strategy, we manage over 160 outdoor events each year in our parks, squares, walkways and streets.
We:
- process applications
- advise event organisers
- scrutinise plans
- consult with local stakeholders and partner agencies; and
- monitor events as they take place
Our outdoor events policy plays an important role in setting out the way we run events role and work with people.
We also fund an annual programme of free community events contributing to a vibrant Southwark. Such as:
- Camberwell Fair
- Bermondsey Carnival
- East Dulwich Christmas Cracker,
- Peckham and Nunhead Free Film Festival and the
- annual firework display
After reduced funding from central government, we face challenges with continued investment with our events programme. Last year, the council allowed two major commercial events to take place. The income generated from these events allowed for the continued support of our annual free events.
