The Autumn Festival of the Great North Wood

26th Sept – 9th Oct 2022

Celebrate the second Great North Wood Festival of the Year!

Join us for a hybrid festival featuring in-person and online events happening across the two weeks. Events will include walks, talks and poetry workshops.

The Great North Wood was once a patchwork of wild woods and common ground that covered the low hills between Deptford and Croydon.

The woods have largely been swallowed up by the growth of south London, but the Great North Wood lives on in local names (such as Norwood and Honor Oak) and in surviving sections of woodland, which still stand as havens for wildlife and nature.

The Festival of the Great North Wood will be a celebration of the Wood’s wildlife and vast history.
