What's on in Thamesmead

Greater London, England

Share:

Thamesmead sits right on the edge of Greater London with plenty of space to stretch out after a week of work. The Hawksmoor Youth Club has been hosting local talent for years while the library runs reading groups that keep everyone engaged. You don't need to travel far to find a gig or a chat, especially when the Thamesmere Leisure Centre and Library are just around the corner. There's usually a fair or a fitness class popping up somewhere nearby if you've got the energy for it. Even on a rainy Tuesday, there's always a reason to pop into Greenwich Inactive Healthcare Records for a quiet word with the staff. We keep the list of events handy so you're not wasting time scrolling through endless websites on a Sunday evening.

Braiding Sweetgrass Reading Circle

Braiding Sweetgrass Reading Circle

To celebrate the return of spring, join us at SET Social for the Braiding Sweetgrass Reading Circle, a small reading group exploring Robin Wall Kimmerer’s influential book Braiding Sweetgrass. Meeting every two weeks from 15 March to 24 May, the circle invites participants to read and discuss the book together over tea in a relaxed and welcoming setting. Each session will focus on a different section of the text, beginning with the introduction at the first meeting. Drawing on her life as an Indigenous scientist, a mother and a woman, Kimmerer explores how other living beings such as plants, animals and ecosystems offer lessons about reciprocity, care and responsibility. Through stories that move between ecology, science and Indigenous knowledge, the book explores our relationship with the earth and the importance of living in respectful kinship with the more-than-human world. The reading circle will be a space to discuss these ideas together and reflect on how they might influence our daily lives. If gardeners attend, the group may also explore ways to connect some of the book’s teachings with the SET Social Community Garden. Open to anyone interested in nature, gardening or anti-colonial perspectives on our relationship with the land.

SET 91 Open Series – A PATCH Sunday Salon

SET 91 Open Series – A PATCH Sunday Salon

SET 91 continues the Open Series with A PATCH Sunday Salon, an exhibition and live programme led by PATCH, an interdisciplinary collective working across architecture, art and research. Bringing together works by the collective and its members, the exhibition explores diasporic experiences of the city and considers how architecture can be understood through alternative, community-led lenses. The exhibition presents a retrospective of PATCH’s past projects alongside new work currently in development by the collective’s founders. Through sculpture, photography, publications and painting, the programme reflects on themes that have shaped PATCH’s practice to date, from food and the act of holding space to the evolving notion of home. Alongside the exhibition, the programme will include a live talk and Q&A reflecting on some of PATCH’s past projects, as well as a conversational salon returning to themes of home and holding space, asking how diasporic communities can be centred within fast-paced metropolitan environments in ways that are tangible, supportive and meaningful. Why this matters In the context of ongoing gentrification, displacement and urban redevelopment, particularly in London, diasporic and marginalised communities are often disproportionately affected.

Sunday Open Session with Folk of the Round Table

Sunday Open Session with Folk of the Round Table

Join Folk of the Round Table at SET Social from 7pm every Sunday for their weekly folk jam session. This inclusive gathering celebrates the oratory tradition of sharing songs, stories and poems around a fire, by a hearth or in a tavern. Bring an instrument if you have one, and a traditional song you’d like to perform or pass on. It’s called folk music for a reason. The night is about people coming together to keep these traditions alive and build community through shared music. Every session is different, but the ethos remains the same: all abilities, all welcome. Folk of the Round Table have proudly hosted this folk night for over eight years, connecting singers and musicians from around the world. Come along and join the circle. Event details When: Every Sunday from 7pmLocation: SET Social, 55a Nigel Road, Peckham, SE15 4NPEntry: Free
