Good News | The Way of the Roadwytch x Festival of Community

"I woke up in the garden half dressed, on all fours beneath the tree"

Good News is an adaptation of the Norfolk folk tale the Pedlar of Swaffham, exploring the principles and aesthetics of live storytelling. Featuring an uncertain narrator/protagonist, who travels to London after a series of recurring dreams, join us as the performers play with fables and sound. 

Brought to you by Ananya Dunn and Joseph Hewlett-Hall, it'll be a dreamlike night, experimenting with musical accompaniment, live foley and audience interaction.

About the exhibition:

The Way of the Roadwytch will be the centrepiece of Staffordshire St’s annual Festival of Community 2026: a collaborative programme of workshops, events, exhibitions and drop-ins that will celebrate our neighbourhood and the communities that fill its streets. Exploring notions of community, place and belonging, Staffordshire St will become a locus for playful creativity and celebratory knowledge sharing.

Accessibility: There is step-free access to the gallery via the door to the left hand side of the main entrance. There is a wheelchair accessible toilet. The event will be taking place in the exhibition space, which is a large open room with bright lighting and some seating available.

Our Accessibility Pack is available here.

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
