Chutney Preserves 4

CHUTNEY PRESERVES FOUR - THE ANIMAL FAIR
Camberwell Green, Camberwell Road, London SE5
Sunday 27th
1-7pm
This will be the closing event for Camberwell Arts Festival

 
Painting by Sarah Sparkes, 2010 -  after Sidney Shepherd's. 'The Camberwell Fair' circ. 1850

From 1279 until 1855 a fayre was held on Camberwell Green, one of the many attractions was a menagerie of wild animals captured from distant lands. In homage to the beasts of the ancient Camberwell Fayre, artists will create a fair and foul enclosure of luxurious and curious beasts, transforming the Green into a safari park for human animals and their keepers, with beastly goings on, sideshows and a program of performance in ‘the big top’
