STST Festival of Community | Food for Thought: Community Consultation

FOOD FOR THOUGHT: Community Consultation Session

As a key event in our programme, we’d love to tell you about our plans for Festival of Community 2026 and find out your ideas for the future. Join us as we present what we've got in store for this September, with free food and local community networking.

As part of our annual Festival of Community, we open the doors for a series of workshops,exhibitions and events exploring notions of community, place and belonging. Our commitment to our neighbours extends year round as we make the space available to local groups throughout the year at community rates.

This year, the festival responds to Libby Bove’s The Way of the Roadwych, an immersive folk-fiction exhibition where ancient ritual, magic and plant knowledge reimagine the world of vehicle and road maintenance.

On Wednesday 15th July, we will host a drop-in consultation session at Staffordshire St where you can enjoy a free meal, share your ideas and meet the team who run the space.

Staffordshire St is an independent project space in Peckham, South East London. The venue facilitates arts and cultural events and provides affordable studios for artists, makers and designers. ​

Staffordshire St is not-for-profit and all income is invested into developing our public programme which launched the summer of 2022. The venue was established as an art gallery in 2017, before then it was vacant for many years after a community centre closed. Originally it was built as a Methodist Hall. We intend to support a range of cultural events for the local community.

Staffordshire St will build on the established record of these histories, opening up again to the neighbourhood and developing a welcoming interdisciplinary arts space. More information on upcoming events at : info@staffordshirest.com or @staffordshirest
