Join the Beast making workshop on 17th December, all day in the Art Room at the Telegraph Hill Community Centre. Artists will be in there making masks, headdresses and a giant furry beast, and you are welcome to try your hand at making your own as materials allow. If you want to bring materials & ideas to add that’s great.
The Beasts will be part of the Solstice Parade on Dec 22nd which will be starting at the Telegraph pub and winding through Telegraph Hill. All welcome
What time is the beast art thing? Is it suitable for my 10 year old?

Hi,
would you please let me know what time is the gathering at The Telegraph and what time is the Procession due to kick-off?
Thanks,

I’ve updated the post… The days are drawing shorter and shorter. Very soon it will be the least light day of the year and to celebrate this and the returning of longer days, people in the New Cross, Brockley, Nunhead and Telegraph Hill area of South London are reviving and re-inventing the ancient local “Night of the Beasts” parade. This years solstice falls on Thursday December 22nd. All are welcome to join in, either starting at New Cross Library at 4.30pm or meeting at the Telegraph pub, Dennetts rd. SE14 from 5pm to then parade with musical accompaniment, through the streets up to The Hill Station for refreshment and wassailing. Keep in the spirit and keep warm by dressing in a beastly theme, bring a pet or a cuddly toy or carry a lantern to help light our way.
Singers and musicians are invited to bring instruments to ad lib music on the parade, then to lead singing of traditional wassail carols, or songs celebrating animals, or the turning of the year. There will be a keyboard, guitar amp and mic.
