6.15-7.15pm - Latin Dub Sound System - Big bass lines and carnival rhythms. That moment when the music makes you lose control. The interactive vibe between band and audience: an unmissable live music experience.

Building on the 18 year history of the Camden Green Fair, we are pleased to be able to present some fantastic education and entertainment over the course of this weekend, with the help of our sponsors, supporters, the Big Lottery fund, key contractors, area managers and huge team of volunteers.

The London Green Fair is a Community Interest Company, independent from any local authority, providing a platform for all that is green and great in our city, and allowing campaigners, community groups and artists to engage with you all in a fun filled day. You will find both serious and suggestive takes on environmental issues here, from walkabout fun performances, live music and children’s craft activities to topical debates with high profile speakers, social justice and environmental campaigners. We hope you enjoy the mix.

Our festival can be a daunting place, especially for younger visitors. Should you become separated from your child(ren) please speak to our stewards or go to our Lost Children point, located at the central cross-roads, next to our information point. You will find a first aid centre there as well. Please respect the Royal Park, don't damage or climb the trees, do look after each other and, of course, help us recycle as much as possible by putting your litter in the correct bins.

Connection with Clothes by Here Today Here Tomorrow www.heretodayheretomorrowblog.wordpress.com‘Connecting with Clothes’ is an opportunity to share unique stories about special garments over a cup of tea. It is the chance to take the time to reflect on exactly why particular pieces of clothing are special. Through storytelling we hope to reveal the many aspects that contribute to making the relationship with a garment a lasting one. We hope this will encourage an awareness, which will ultimately contribute to a shift in the way clothes are made, bought, used and cared for.

As a reminder of this experience all participants will receive a special ‘connecting with clothes’ label, which can be attached to your garment. You will even learn how to sew on a button!

*Don’t forget to bring along a garment and its story to share with the group.
