Curated by The Heritage Palace (The Palace of the Dogs + Don’t Touch My Heritage) and running across 13-15th September, Peckham Festival will honour the diverse and intergenerational communities that have shaped Peckham’s unique culture and creativity — past, present and future.

GALA return after their debut in 2023 and will again be bringing a number of new, rising acts to the festival. Our main stage will also feature Nadeem Din-Gabisi and Mark-Ashley Dupé as well as Passa Productions’ The Mighty Ruler Soundsystem. Copeland Park favourite, JUMBI will also be taking over UNIT/08 once again for another warehouse party.

Copeland Gallery will host ‘PECKNAM’, programmed by lead curators Danny Bailey & Alizée Ndiaye. ‘PECKNAM’ is a tribute to all communities across the globe who have fallen victim to ghettoisation, by celebrating the talent, culture, art, and community that is birthed by those areas.

Peckham Festival will also be throwing a vogue ball for the very first time. Hosted by Kiki House of Laveaux, the ball will blend the vibrant spirit of Peckham with the dynamic energy of ballroom culture.

Made in Peckham will return with open studios and a Makers Market, showcasing over 70 artists and designers and offering a unique opportunity to purchase works directly from local creatives.

The Bussey Building’s Rooftop Film Club, in collaboration with The New Black Film Collective, will be running a series of screenings across the weekend and 948 will be programming a series of talks and arts events.

We’ll also be offering a wide variety of free creative workshops for all and activities for younger visitors.

Come down, join the fun, and be a part of Peckham’s ever-evolving story. See you there!
