Stallholders: Bring your creativity and charities to the 2026 Summer Festival

Have you got a passion for your hobby or interest? Maybe you volunteer for a fantastic charity that you’d like to represent? 

Then why not be a stallholder at our next festival? It will be held on 

Sunday 14th June 2026, from 12 – 5pm

We pride ourselves on having a great display of stalls and entertainers. 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.

Please read the terms and conditions (see link below).

Picnic in the Park Stallholder Terms and Conditions

Please complete the form below by 23 May 2026, but as early as possible before the event to guarantee a spot (we reserve the right to close applications as we are unable to accommodate stallholder applications on the day):

Experience the Magic of the Dawn Chorus

Spring mornings are truly special, and there is no better way to experience them than by listening to the spectacular dawn chorus!

Join Tim and the true “early birds” of our community for an unforgettable hour immersed in morning birdsong. Yes, the walk starts bright and early at 5:00 AM but we promise the breathtaking symphony of nature waking up is well worth setting your alarm for! It’s a fantastic way to start your weekend peacefully and connect with local wildlife.
