Welcome

This beautiful Georgian mansion is open daily to the public as an arts, cultural and community centre.

Brought to you by the folks behind the Bussey Building in Peckham, the Mansion now houses artist studios, a yoga/pilates/wellbeing centre, arts and crafts classes, and a bar/café. In addition, there will be regular special events and activities like food and vintage markets, concerts, pop-up cinemas and more!

Welcome to PECKISH 🤤

With two weeks to go until the big kick off, we're very excited to announce our food trader lineup for this summer.

There'll be some familiar faces as your favourites return, plus some incredible new vendors to try out - all on a rotating roster, because variety is the spice of life.

We've got @route66streetfood with their packed Californian burritos 🌯

@sarrasinlondon with delicious sweet and savoury crepes 🥞

Our very own @themansionbarcafe serving up their incredible new burger menu 🍔

@harlem2manila and their mouth-watering BBQ and bao combo ♨️

@urban_yak's punchy Nepali-Tibetan rice boxes and noodles 🍛

AND

@thefryingsquad1 with their legendary traditional British fish and chips 🍟

So, that's dinner sorted every Thursday throughout summer then... and you don't have to pay a penny to get in!

Keep your eyes peeled as we'll be announcing the specific traders each week ahead of Peckish.

We'll also be announcing our live music and DJ dates very soon too, so plenty to look forward to! 📻

------------------------------------------

We do have some very limited spaces available on certain dates for potential food traders, please email ione@beckenhamplace.org to enquire.

Just a glimpse at some of the 60 small brands taking part over this weekend at The Mansion for @saladdaysmarketlondon with @livpurvis - we’re so excited to browse them all!

Salad Days focuses on sustainable, pre loved and vintage fashion, but a wide range of other products will be available too, including jewellery, art, ceramics, vintage homeware and much more!

Best of all the market is free to all! Just download a ticket from the Salad Days website. There you can also find a giant list of all the small brands that’ll be making this market extra special!

There will also be street food traders as well as our very own @themansionbarcafe serving up brunch on Saturday, roasts on Sunday and some much needed refreshing drinks across the weekend!
