The big day has finally arrived, the opening of Dulwich Festival 2025! If you’re looking to kick off the ten-day celebration with a bang, don’t miss the Family Silent Disco in the stunning grounds of Dulwich Picture Gallery at 6:30pm. Dance the evening away with three DJs battling it out over multiple channels, playing everything from disco classics to modern anthems. For those seeking a more soulful start, join Genevieve Dawson, leader of the South East London Queer Choir, for a joyful singing workshop at the Crown & Greyhound from 7pm, where you’ll learn rousing folk and pop bangers in a welcoming, inclusive environment. Award-winning broadcaster and journalist Emma Barnett will discuss her new book Maternity Service at the MCT in Alleyns. Visit www.dulwichfestival.co.uk to buy tickets
