HARVEST FESTIVAL IS RETURNING TO THIS SEPTEMBER đŸŒŸ// Looking for something a bit different to do this September? Well, you’re in luck!

The Brixton Windmill is hosting its much-anticipated Harvest Festival on Sunday, 29th September, and it’s set to be an afternoon full of family fun, food, and a bit of floury magic—all right here in the heart of Brixton.

Running from 1 to 5 pm, this free event is the perfect way to see out the summer and welcome in the autumn with the community. The festival is all about celebrating the wheat harvest, and trust us, there’s more to it than you might think! From learning how grain turns into flour to enjoying some of Brixton’s finest food and drink, there’s something for everyone.

BRIXTON NOW & THEN // Brixton, captured around the 1920s. On the left, you can spot the grand Wallace Hughes department store.

Wallace Hughes, born on 31 July 1878, was a prominent figure in Brixton, known for owning the Wallace Hughes department store.

He lived at various addresses, including 13 Woodbourne Ave and 9 Becmead Avenue, with residences in both Brixton and Balham. His department store in Brixton was a significant local business, contributing to the bustling atmosphere of the area during the early 20th century.

The exact year of this photograph is unknown, but it captures the era when Wallace Hughes was a notable presence in the community.

PAPA’S PARK AND CAFÉ NEEDS YOUđŸ«¶ // Brixton, we’ve got a situation on our hands. Papa’s Park, our little green haven in the middle of Lambeth, was recently hit by a break-in.

It’s the kind of news that makes your heart sink, but here’s the thing—this is Brixton, and we don’t let things like this keep us down for long.

If you’ve ever strolled through , you’ll know it’s more than just a park. It’s a home away from home, where kids can play, friends can catch up, and everyone’s welcome with open arms. And at the centre of it all is Papa’s CafĂ©, run by Valcie and Hurley, two absolute legends who’ve turned the space into a warm, welcoming spot for everyone.

But after the break-in, things are looking a bit bleak. The community building was damaged, stock was stolen from the cafĂ©, and items were taken from the groups that use the hall. It’s a massive blow, but we’re not about to sit back and let it slide.

So pretty đŸ€© summer evenings in Brockwell park are unbeatable!

[LINK IN BIO] in Brixton has now permanently closed â€ïžđŸ˜” // , the beloved vegan social enterprise located near the Oval on Brixton Road, has sadly shuttered its doors after nine vibrant years.

This wasn’t just any cafĂ©; it was a haven of kindness and inclusion, where over 60 individuals with learning disabilities were trained and employed, enriching the community profoundly.

The menu was a testament to ethical, plant-based deliciousness—think tofu banh mi and hearty vegan burgers, each dish crafted with genuine care. CafĂ© Van Gogh’s dedication to social good was woven into every aspect of its operations, creating a warm, supportive environment for both staff and patrons.
