Streatham Festival will return in July 2012 with a better line-up than ever before, and will run from Thursday 5th through to Sunday 8th July.

For 2012 the festival is taking on a new condensed format to encourage more people outside the area to visit Streatham for the weekend’s events. Each year the Streatham Festival Association presents 2 flagship events, and in celebration of our 2012 Fire theme for the festival, we are commissioning Emergency Exit Arts to produce an outdoor fire show, Sparks Fly on Saturday 7th July in the evening. On Sunday afternoon, the 8th July we will be hosting Music on the Lawn, a jazz, swing and blues afternoon event in the Rookery at the top of Streatham Common.

To kick off the 2012 programme, Streatham Festival Association have commissioned award winning textile artist Kathy Schicker to create Beetles Shuttles and Bombs, a fire-themed installation for the festival. Kathy has been working with local schools and community groups to create the installation using a wide variety of techniques to conjure up the magic of fire.

Alongside these three flagship events, Lambeth-based organisations and individuals are invited to present their own events, forming the traditionally rich mix of programme that comprises the festival. In addition for 2012, we will be supporting 4 local artists/organisations to produce exciting work for the festival – for more information see the official website.

Following on from previous years, we will continue to develop our festival pop-up shop, which acts as both an information point and as a venue for exhibitions, workshops and performances.
