Welcome

Welcome to SE22

It is so lovely putting the magazine together while the sun is shining; it certainly makes a welcome change. Spring is in the air and there is much to celebrate locally. I am particulary delighted to announce the Dulwich Festival is back this year and SE Magazines is the official media partner! Read our preview on pages 20 and 21 to start planning your diary. As usual I have rounded up all the great events taking place in and around Dulwich. The events pages start on page 6. March is proving a popular month for events so we have seven pages of online and in person events happening in and around Dulwich. Please do check any event before turning up to make sure that they are still going ahead. Remember to check out www.arounddulwich.co.uk too. The Last Word is back this month with Matthew Preedy. Matthew is the founder of Vits+Kicks, the latest hospitality addition to the East Dulwich area. I can definitely vouch for their fantastic cocktails! See page 36. I hope you enjoy the magazine this month, please feel free to let me know if you do. Until next time. Happy Easter Angela
