A party that's worth every penny

This popular fete is laid on by local residents. Stage acts, workshops, a parade, sports, a bouncy castle, face painters and clowns make for a lively afternoon.

You'll also find good crafts and food stalls and have a chance to help create a mural to be used in next month's Thames Festival.

Bernie Spain Gardens Broadwall, SE1 (020-7401 3610). Sun 24 Aug, 2pm-7pm, free. www.coinstreetfestival.org.
