Another great year for Palmers Green Festival

Another great year for the Palmers Green Festival! 

Last year (2023)  a new team took the reins, building on the great work of Phillip Chard in establishing the festival. 

Starting again from no experience of such big events was a big challenge. but last year was a great success. 

2024 saw the re-opening of the lawn behind Broomfield House and 'Broomfield Bowl' as part of the festival site. Visitors were treated to a fun dog show salsa and other dance lessons, live music, an  art exhibition, fun fair and 85 different stalls, including Vintage, artisanal, family oriented, food, drinks, crafts, and community groups. An art exhibition, dog show and a fairground added to the wealth of things to do and see for the 7,000+ people visiting - and we had a perfect day for it too!

Quotes from some visitors:
