Free Culture in Greater Kennington 1 – Lambeth Heritage Festival 2025

We’re aware that we say this every month, but it’s our favourite time of the year! Unless you fall asleep on your device frequently, you might have noticed that we have an affection for 1. Local History 2. Free stuff.  And while not all of the activities during Heritage Week are in fact free, a lot of them are. All of the fun listed below is local, but if you possess the malice and gaul to leave Greater Kennington, then the Lambeth Festival guide can be found here to explore the further reaches of our amazing Borough. Granted, our Borough might not feel so amazing on a Thursday morning when the binmen haven’t turned up and you have fox strewn Tesco containers in front of your home, but let us remain positive.
