[chegrimandi]

will go if the weather is good, is always a top day out.

 

[Kid_Eternity]

Yep, hopefully the weather will take a good turn. Should be cool.

 

[marty21]

i'll be popping up there

used to be a bigger event, taking over church street, with all sorts of art installation stuff

one year they had a thing called "hidden voices" at abney park, which involved a group of us being led around to hear the hidden voices - screams from speakers by graves, topless woman doing a tales of the unexpected dance on graves, harp player, medieval singers - and the sound of people opening their cans

I've heard so much about this, I'd really like to go. What's the best way to get there, is there a near tube station? The site only shows you the bus route...

Get off at Manor House, walk south down the hill to the park. (Or hop on a 341/141)

There's some kind of a train station in Stoke Newington, to the east.

Though probably safer than Stoke Newington High Street - we've only got the Woodberry Downs estate to contend with

there was talk of putting a pedestrian bridge over the New River from Woodberry to the Eade Road area. Apparently, the council planning officers got complaints from *both* sides of the potential bridge that it would bring the tone of the area down.

 

[Biddlybee]

Morton Valence, Tofu Love Frogs AND Solution Sound

Can't see that one the website anywhere

 

[Badgers]

I will be there unless there are floods, cyclones, swarms of locusts, civil war or something....

 

[chegrimandi]

actually looks like it might be sunnyish on sunday...



will be fairly close to the solution sound tent most of the day with any luck.
