A welcome trend in recent years is the increase in fairs and carnivals. South Norwood in particular is no exception. Recently, along with many thousands of others, I attended the South Norwood Festival in the park. I have been struck how this has been organised and driven through by local residents and businesses, and I have been an advocate for some time. It was a great day, great weather, and some excellent music. This cracking event gets better each year and aim to support it next year too.
The following week I also had the pleasure in attending the grand finale South Norwood Arts Festival Fayre on Woodside Green. Again well attended on a hot day, and another event that shows that South Norwood and Woodside's community know how to organise brilliant events and have a great time.
