This year London Fire Brigade celebrate their 150 birthday.
This year one of ‘England’s busiest fire and rescue services and one of the largest organisations in the world’ celebrates 150 years.
This September 3rd, Lambeth Fire Brigade @firelambeth invite you to Clapham Village Fete to join them for a day of fun, frolics, music, food and classic coconut shy in the heart of Clapham’s Old Town…
You can enjoy music, dance, arts and craft stalls, performances, rides and other outdoor interactive activities, all topped off with some of the best food and drink Clapham has to offer.
Enjoy live performances from the Dixie Strollers and more, while the kids can enjoy Clapham Mutts, a dog show for the under 16’s, or can stroll on over to say hi to the friendly animals from Vauxhall City Farm. And don’t forget to meet your local firemen at the interactive fire engine display.
