We were very disappointed not to be able to bring an orchestral event, or similar, to this year's festival programme - but it was not for want of trying believe you me! We'd be delighted to hear from chamber orchestras or similar wishing to take part in next year's events. Contact us at director@syd...

Sadly, I couldn't be at the concert but I heard it was a very fitting tribute to Robert. A few posts on here have asked about the next classical music concerts at St Bart's Church and I can promise Sydenham that our 2014 festival in July will be featuring a host of music events at St Bart's, includi...

hi Rob let me add my welcome to the others on here - and thanks for the mention of Sydenham Arts Festival, which we're busy planning right now. I'll try to pop by your shop to see about how we can link up And just to add that it's great to see another empty property reopen with a new business. Good ...

I've read this thread with great interest. As Director of Sydenham Arts Festival, I would love to bring events to The Windmill. However, as I have said to Mary only recently, my annual efforts to interest the landlady in supporting the festival again (after our Bollywood Music & Dance event in 2...

Rod Taylor asked that the festival be 'transparent.' Although I don't see that we are legally obliged to do so (and as a company limited by guarantee, and therefore non-profit making, you can actually view our accounts at Companies House by the way), I will spell out briefly who is paid and who isn'...

We're on planet earth. 'Alfred Adler' may not know this, but the festival was started by a group of volunteers in 2009, myself included (Jonathan Kaufman, Festival Director). Our team worked for three years with virtually no pay whatsoever, to bring to Sydenham an immensely successful and well-loved...

Thanks Hannah for reposting the flyer and poster. Yes, many traders have kindly displayed the poster on their premises, including Fresh and Fruity. Sadly, the two large posters I put up at Sydenham DIY and Hill Top Café were removed when I went back a few days later - not by the traders, I should ad...
