Hundreds of residents attended the first South Norwood Community Festival last weekend.

The all day event was held at the Clock Tower on Station Road, and offered a range of activities for residents.

Guests were able to enjoy more than sixty stalls and performances, as well as face painting, a space simulator and funfair rides.

Proceeds from the event are being donated to Get Kids Going, a charity which gives disabled children and young people the opportunity to participate in sport and so far nearly £400 has been raised.

The event was organised by the South Norwood Swans and the South Norwood branch of H&T Pawnbrokers.

Stuart Clarke, manager of H&T Pawnbrokers, south Norwood, said: "It was a really good event, the community really came out and supported us.

"It was really positive and we want to continue doing this annually.

"This was the first one, we have worked out some of the kinks and bugs, so next year will be bigger and better."
