Croydon Heritage Festival

Over 100 events take place across the south London town at the 2015 edition of the Croydon Heritage Festival. This year's theme is 'famous Croydon' meaning many events link back to the iconic faces associated with the area. Highlights include the chance to see inside buildings rarely open to the public (all week) and a celebration of theatres of the past and the star studded roster of performers that graced their stages (June 27). Many events are free but some cost and need to be booked in advance. Find full event listings online.
