The award-winning Lightopia Festival returns to Crystal Palace Park for 2022, bringing its incredible lightshow to London for the second year running and is promising to be bigger and brighter than ever this time. The hero piece of the event, and a first for Lightopia London, is the illuminated water show. The 40-metre-wide and 15-metre-tall water show over the lower lake is promising to be a spectacular visual feast, featuring the beloved Christmas staples of a giant Santa, Rudolf, Christmas tree and snowflakes. A magical and heart-warming show which promises to not be forgotten.

Tuesday 3 January: ‘Dulwich in World War One: Saving Private
Russell’ with Brian Green

The vicar of St Barnabas wrote that he thought his four brothers had already been killed. This talk by Brian Green will recall the enlistment of local men in August 1914 at the rate of 250 per day, the care of wounded at Southwark Military Hospital (Dulwich Hospital), the story of Dulwich’s volunteer battalion and everyday life for civilians. Tickets are £5 each and all net proceeds will go to Bell House garden projects. If you need a free ticket please use the promo code FreeTicket at the check-out. Tickets avaiable at www.bellhouse.co.uk/events Bell House Dulwich, 21 College Road, SE21 7BG.

Thursdays 5, 12, 19 & 26 January: Dulwich Folk Dance Club, 8pm-10pm
2023! Another New Year! And we’re getting it off with a bang! Dancing is good at keeping the mind active and it’s a lovely feeling to have successfully completed a dance. Experienced or not, partnered or single, you can join in immediately and get the full benefit and joy of the event as all dances are first practised and then "called” while we dance to remind us all of the moves. 5th January: Our caller tonight, Philip, always gives us a great array of dances suitable for the number attending and their relevant skills, so everyone always has a great time! 12th January: Sue is our much sought-after caller tonight. Come and make the most of the talent our Club has to offer. 19th January: Our caller tonight, Les, has a wealth of experience and lovely music and dances. 26th January: Our caller tonight is Michele and is our Burns Night celebration, too. If we are very lucky (and twist a few arms!) we are likely to have some members reminding us of their amazing talents, reciting poems, telling stories and giving us their amazing (and almost incomprehensible!) Scottish accents. (No haggis eating required!) St Barnabas Parish Hall, 23 Dulwich Village, SE21 7BT. Entrance is in Gilkes Place. Entrance on door £5 (£4 Club members). Enquiries to: John Blase:
