Entry: Next Sunday on Wanstead Flats: Epping Forest Festival Tuesday, August 30, 2005



The Epping Forest Festival is taking place next Sunday, the 4th September, on the Wanstead Flats!

I'm quite surprised; I don't know that this has ever happened down in the South, and I haven't seen any advertising for it, except that I happened to look on the Corporation of London's Epping Forest Website.   And even then, the PDF is rather minimal.

It's nice to have an Epping Forest event down south.   It might help to educate the newer arrivals that the Wanstead Flats is actually part of the Forest, and its fragile nature needs protection.

There was a big festival sometime back in the 80s alongside Wanstead Park Avenue.
Trivia for you. Where Wanstead Park Ave meets Blake Hall Road there is a deep valley. Few people know this is a world war 2 bomb crater. As a child I saw it from the top deck of a 101 bus the day after the bomb dropped. A United Dairies Milk delivery vehicle had fallen into it.
