Brockley Max is a 9-day not-for-profit community festival that celebrates local talent across various locations in Brockley, Ladywell, Crofton Park & Honor Oak.

Art In The Park, the closing event of the 9-day extravaganza, takes place on Hilly Fields from 12-6pm on 4th June and has something fun for all the family, toddlers, teenagers and all! There'll be exciting art workshops for children. The stage will host local bands; from rock to reggae, and hip hop to classical, as well as fantastic dance & singing performances. There'll be strange happenings in the stone circle, wandering minstrels, a singing tree, face painting, music making and a tall tale or two will be told. There’ll be a delicious array of food, a bar and a local crafts market. Last but not least, there’ll be a fantastic mixture of guests, including you we hope!

Please help us by pledging your support so we can bring Art in the Park to the community.

What we'll deliver:

• Host over 100 guests (including 50 children)
• Showcase local talents – music, dance, art, poetry, and storytelling
• Entertain over 500 children with creative and educational activities
• Provide a space for local food and craft sales
• Put up a workshop marquee and a stage

Why it's a great idea:

Art In The Park brings the whole community together to celebrate why we love living in this amazing part of SE London.
It lets young people try out a host of art & crafts from painting, felt making, and comic drawing.

Some musicians and performers are experienced & others young & emerging local talent who gain valuable experience & who collaborate with other performers.

Local designers & artists can showcase their work, as well as local businesses providing fantastic food and drink.
And its a fantastic opportunity for people to volunteer and be part of this neighbourhood!

Steps to get it done:

• Hire equipment
• Host Art In the Park 2016 on 4th June 12 - 6pm
• Organise event publicity and coordinate volunteers
• Confirm all acts, catering stalls and craft sellers
• Plan 2016 Art In The Park, approach sponsors, put our callout for performers
