Herne Hill Music Festival

We expect many local residents have attended Herne Hill Music Festival events over the years since its inception in 2011. The Festival desribes itself now as being in transition and is hoping the community will help decide how the Festival goes forward.

The Festival is inviting those interested to attend a community meeting on 9 February 2026 (see flyer below for details). As it is short notice they may also schedule other meetings in the near future.

Also, volunteers are sought to help bring award-winning acts and community events back to SE24 in 2026!
