The Plumstead Make Merry is the longest-running community festival in the Royal Borough of Greenwich, it all started in 1975. The festival is entirely run by volunteers who are passionate about the local area, and funded through the generosity of our supporters and dedicated fundraising efforts.
Each year, thousands of people come along to enjoy a packed day of music, arts and activities that celebrate the history of the area and its diverse community. With up to 100 different stalls from local groups and businesses, there is plenty on offer including food and activities for all the family.
Plumstead Make Merry takes place on the east side of Plumstead Common.
