Krankbrother events update September 2022

Two successful events were delivered safely in Beckenham Place Park by Krankbrother on 10 and 11 September – Naked City Festival and Black Coffee - with thousands of people of all ages having a good time enjoying live music over the weekend.

The second weekend of planned events had to be cancelled. Cancelling events, or otherwise, is never an easy decision to make. Click here for more details on the rationale behind the decision-making process in this instance

Reinstatement

Work on the reinstatement of the grounds commenced on the Tuesday after the event and is expected to be completed in the coming weeks. Rain in the preceding week resulted in more visible damage this year, which will be corrected in the coming weeks and months. 

Debrief

A debriefing process is in course to look at what worked well and what didn’t work so well. An issue that has arisen this year is added pressure put by vehicles on surrounding areas on the 18th of September. This is being considered and, as per 2021, a full debrief will take place and future mitigating measures will be published. This process can take a few weeks and Lewisham Council, along with the organisers, are committed to continuing to engage with residents and Bromley Council officers to improve stakeholder experience where necessary.

Consultation

As part of the debriefing process, there will be a public meeting and regular updates on the website. Details are to be announced here.
