Brockwell Park Events - Public Meeting

18th January, 7.30pm

Baptist Church, Half Moon Lane, SE24 9HU

(corner of Half Moon Lane and Winterbrook Road)

The Herne Hill Forum is hosting a special meeting dedicated to the issues surrounding the plans to host events in Brockwell Park. The meeting will be looking at the policy behind using Brockwell Park for events and how that policy benefits park users and the local community. This year Field Day and LoveBox are proposing to hold two large events (est 40,000 plus attendees) based in Brockwell Park and will be present at the meeting.

We have invited key stakeholders to be on a panel:

Cllr Sonia Winifred, Cabinet Member for Equalities and Culture, Lambeth Council (tbc)

Mr Lee Fiorentino, Head of Events & Filming, Lambeth Council

Mike Denness - Lovebox

Jon Drape - Field Day

In addition there will be councillors and officers from Lambeth and Southwark and local community groups in attendence to answer queries and provide additional information. 

The meeting is focused on quizing the key stakeholders about the proposals and ensuring that everyone is aware of the issues, facts and likely outcomes.

We are welcoming questions to be submitted in advance that can be put to key stakeholders at the meeting. In addition on the evening we will be collating written questions and if possible, taking questions from the floor.

A recent announcement from Lambeth has clarified the decision process for the two large events proposed for this year. Each event will be required to gain a Permit to hold an event in Brockwell Park and then a Licence to sell alcohol and play music at the Festival. The Permit is due to be decided in the week of 29th January. Thereafter, the Licence application must be publicised for a minimum of 28 days before adjudication. Feedback from this meeting will contribute to the decision making process regarding the permit and licencing of these two events. 

Anyone unable to attend, or wanting to submit a question in advance, is invited to contact tricia@hernehillforum.org.uk.

As part of ensuring that the maximum information relating to events in the park and these two events in particular are available in the public domain we are collating as many relevant documents as we can here:
