Want to run a Stall at the 2024 Festival?

Then why not be a stall-holder at our next festival? It will be held on Sunday 30 June 2024, 1 – 5pm, setup from 11am.

We pride ourselves on having a great display of stalls and we love having old friends back, as well as new local community groups, charities, hobbyists or other sellers.

We welcome hundreds of visitors on the day – mostly local people living close to the park, but increasingly people from Greenwich and Bexley, and sometimes even further afield.

Sonja O’Sullivan

Last weekend, we officially christened our newest bench, installed with many kind donations from local people. It is dedicated to our beloved Sonja O’Sullivan, a treasured friend and member of our management committee. Her husband, Brian, spoke movingly about her love of the park.

Friends and family turned out in their droves on a cold March morning to celebrate her life.

Next time you are there, take a look – there’s a fabulous view from it too!

See if you can spot Sonja’s sister in the group photo – a great family resemblance!

    New investment from the Council

    We are pleased to report that as part of Royal Greenwich’s £1million investment in parks across the Borough, we now have a new park name sign at Plum Lane.

    New bins and benches are being installed during August and wildflower seed planting will take place during the Autumn.

    The park has had so much more use over the past 20 months, and we are still seeing new faces all the time. As you might expect, there is more wear and tear on paths and grassed areas that needs attention, and we also want to introduce new facilities.

    The management committee are keeping an eye out for funding opportunities and different ways of raising money to make our park even better.

    If you have an idea for fundraising, please let us know – just email us! werfsp@gmail.com
