Roehampton residents enjoyed a weekend of festival fun as two days of music, food, and entertainment took over Roehampton estate.

Around 350 older residents were treated to a free evening of food and live performances on Saturday, July 2, as part of the ‘Kings and Queens Banquet'.

While on Sunday around 2000 people of all ages enjoyed the ‘Feel Good Festival’ with live music, a fun fair and art stalls among the activates.

The Kings and Queens banquet took place in a marquee on Danebury Avenue Green, thanks to a team of over 100 volunteers, and was visited by the Deputy Mayor of Wandsworth, Cllr Wendy Speck.

Michael David Chappell, 75, said it was the first time he’d attended the event, and that he very much enjoyed it.

He said: “I think it’s very good value, seeing as it’s free, and very good entertainment for people, especially if they’re lonely.”

This was the tenth year of the banquet which is funded by the charity Regenerate-RISE.

The Feel Good Festival, also on Danebury Avenue Green, was organised by sister charity Regenerate and saw thousands of residents and families come out to enjoy the festivities.

Attendees enjoyed a mix of arts and sports, including circus skills, along with face painting, live music, food and drink, and a mini funfair.

Andy Smith, The Feel Good Festival organiser-in-chief, said: "The event was a huge success, it was great to see the community come together to celebrate everything great about Roehampton.

"We were giving out 400 free sandwiches and we ran out in less than an hour which reflects the huge turnout"

Roehampton Outdoor Art Movement (ROAM) also ran a ‘creative zone’ of activities including dance workshops, puppet making, storytelling, and comedy.
