An application has recently been made to Lewisham Council for permission to hold Winter Gardens events once a year, every year, at the Park.

The event would take place from November to January each year. The application site has changed since last year. This year, and for future years, it is proposed to be located on the meadow in front of the Mansion and the Homestead, rather than last year where it was situated further north, closer to the vehicle entrance to the Park.

The application includes for films to be shown from 11:00-22:00 every day, and alcohol to be served from the same times.

Event dates will be agreed with Green Scene (Lewisham’s in-house Parks and Open Space team responsible for the western side of the Park) in advance of each annual event, and will be advertised on Lewisham Council’s website.

You can comment on the current proposal by email to licensing@lewisham.gov.uk until Friday 16th October 2026. Your full name and address must be included.
