★ Upcycle LDN

upCYCLE is an organisation established by Philip Dobson in June 2020. Inspired by the global Black Lives Matter movement, he felt the need to help young ethnically diverse people in London. As a person of colour, he was devastated to see the inordinate impact that Covid-19 was having on London’s ethnically diverse community, with young people forced to use public transport, which increases the risk of infection and passing it on to high risk or elderly family members.

He started off simply fixing bikes that were destined for landfill and donating them to charities in London, but after discussions with charities and community leaders he realised that much more was needed to get young people involved in cycling and, more importantly, actually keep them interested.

★ Diggerland

Both days: All day

★ Ben Willis Woodcraft

Both days: All day demonstrations

The story of green woodworking reaches back probably as far as mankind’s relationship with timber. The term itself is a relatively new one, coined sometime in the latter half of the last century to distinguish it from what by then had become almost the universal method for working wood, certainly in industrialised societies, in which timber is cut, planked and seasoned before being worked. While this method is fine in its own way, it favours mechanised processes more suited to what by the time it comes to be fashioned has become a hard, unforgiving material.

…in partnership with the Lambeth Horticultural Society.

There are 83 different classes to see, including the coveted Vegetable Sculpture Competition.

The Wall of Death has been synonymous with speed and danger since it’s conception back in the early part of the 20th century. The Original Wall of Death harks back to those early days, with the wall being constructed in 1928, and the bikes, Indian Scouts, made in 1921.

All those who see the show will remember it for the rest of their life. The noise, the speed, the smell, the proximity of the bikes ridden to the top of the wall, barely 6 inches from the audience – an experience never to be forgotten!
