Volunteer days

Community Wildlife Garden Next Volunteer Day - Sunday 7th June 10am-12 noon March 27, 2026 The Community Wildlife Garden is largely maintained by the Friends. Our volunteer mornings are usually on the first Sunday of the month at 10am. The more volunteers the merrier, so please make sure to come along. If you want to know more about the volunteer days, please email GALA On The Rye Festival 2026 March 26, 2026 GALA on the Rye Festival 2026 This year’s festival will be held over 4 days, Friday 22nd May to 24th May. The footprint of the festival has been enlarged, encroaching further south east of the site. There will be a new access point in Colyton Road and a trackway built along the south side of the Park, so another new significant area of grass could be churned up and damaged. The Friends are advocating to ensure the park is left in better condition this year. THiS YEAR'S FETE - SATURDAY 5th SEPTEMBER 2026 March 25, 2026 Our ever popular fete and dog show will be held on Peckham Rye Common on Saturday 5th September 2026 from 12-5pm. It takes a lot of work to run the fete and we especially need volunteers to run the coconut shy and children’s races. Please contact us on if you can give us an hour or two of your time. Paws and Pause took over running the wonderful fete and dog show last year. What a triumph it was - delighted they are returning for another go.
