Lambeth Riverside Festival 2005

Following consultation after the 2004 Vauxhall Festival the Board decided to co-ordinate a Festival for 2005. This was called Lambeth Riverside Festival.

A planning group convened by Trust Board member Danielle Arnaud made up of local organisations, residents and workers developed an activity programme which culminated in 40 events across the period 8-24 July 2005. These ranged over family fun events, music, art exhibitions, history talks and walks, drama, healthy living activities, and an evening of films linked with the International Charlie Chaplin Film Festival.

The Festival was well received and different activities attracted a wide range of people reflecting the diversity of the local population. With the success of the Festival the Board decided to co-ordinate the July 2006 Festival between 9 and 22 July.
