The Deptford Project - INSA from Umlaut Collective on Vimeo.

After our Silent Cinema season finished back in the summer, we were left with a big blank canvas screen which was crying out for a little attention. We asked INSA if he would like use this canvas for a piece of his art and of course he was more than happy to oblige. Here is a great video of his progress as he painted a picture of our future development there. The video was shot by local creative agency Umlaut Collective. We love their work too.

Christmas Market Day

What a lovely Day,a spot of rain but really lucky with the weather. Thankyou to all of the fantastic artists and traders who put on such lovely displays, all sorts of unique Christmas presents were to be found. Kingston City Farm turned up with a mix of reindeer and pearly sheep and raised an impressive £330 for the animals!! Santa Claus took time out of his busy schedule to pay a visit to the children at The Deptford Project and turn on the solar powered lights on our beautifull 12ft christmas tree bought from flower man on Douglas Way and lovingly decorated by Clyde Early Childhood Centre!
Merry Christmas to all and a Happy New Year!!

Jamie Oliver

Jamie Oliver’s new TV show was at The Deptford Project.  Jamie spent a day with us earlier in the year cooking up burgers with Yanni and his pop up guerilla burger van.  We all worked together to create a lovely BBQ style venue with our recycled straw bales, log fires and music from Hayseed Dixie. Perfect.

Autum Harvesting with Clyde Nursery

On Monday morning we had a few children from Clyde nursery pop along and help us harvest the crops we have been growing on site.
We managed to harvest lots of kale,cabbage, chives, vietnamese coriander, sage, bay leaves and thyme.
It was lovely to see all the children getting their hands messy and enjoying new smells and learning about how things grow and can be taken care of.

They took lots back to school with them to do drawings and to tell the other children at Clyde about their finds.

Launch Party for MyDeptfordHighStreet.com

Last night we hosted the launch party for MyDeptfordHighStreet.com a wonderful new website created to help promote local business in and around Deptford High Street.

THE DEPTFORD PROJECT ANNOUNCES SILENT CINEMA’S RETURN THIS SUMMER

 

Urban cool meets outdoor cinema as The Deptford Project hosts its second season of Silent Cinema as part of their regular Summer events programme.

 

In its inaugural year Silent Cinema @ The Deptford Project proved to be of London’s most unusual, exciting and popular movie experiences. Due to demand, this year the run has been extended to four weekends in July and August, with each featuring films themed around 80’s Classics, Sci-Fi Alien Invasion, Americana and Weepies. Highlights include Coppola’s brilliant coming-of-age movie ‘The Outsiders’, starring a baby-faced and almost unrecognizable Tom Cruise, Brat Pack classic, the nostalgia and heartthrob-tastic ‘St Elmo’s Fire’, Ridley Scott’s Oscar winning Sci-Fi horror ‘Alien’ and the ultimate tear-jerker ‘Beaches’.

If you Click on the Silent Cinema icon you can find out more about this years schedule.

last minute eat.street The Meat Wagon

 

 

 

We are pleased to announce that Eat Streets very own Yianni Will be down tmrw night (Wednesday 6th of October) from 6pm. Yianni brings America to South London...
with The Meat Wagon which is a really exciting street food venture run by someone who has the right idea about the new direction of mobile eating in Britain. Yianni goes on regular research trips (gotta love a research trip) to the States and returns to Peckham with great new recipes: chicken wings, sliders, proper french fries and the now famous Bobcat Burger. Not so much a market trader as a true itinerant, Yianni and his Meat Wagon pop up in parking lots around and about. Add a bit of music and an interesting mix of people and all of a sudden there's an underground street food scene going on - great food unencumbered by the strong arm of the law. The Meat Wagon represents the best of what eat.st looks for: great food, served with imagination and offered up by people with personality and pioneering spirit. Join us at the deptford project to meet Yianni and other eat street traders, we will also be screening Metropolis on our huge out door cinema screen. A night not to be missed..

 

this saturday honky tonk and raw rockabilly

Fun on the day includes a real life caller, a band named Blue Abuse that’ll be banging out country & western ditties as hogs are roasted and lines are danced to a background of much a-whoopin’ and a-hollerin’ in the hay bales setting. The animals from Kingston City Farm are also, charitably, going to be making their way down there for this family-friendly, Deptford redneck extravaganza. This Saturday 2nd of October
11.30am-6pm £2

Last night tonight...

 


Last night (Friday) we had a sell out Rocky Horror Picture Show.  Party hats, newspapers and confetti were employed in an audience participation extravaganza.  Withnail and I closes our current run this evening (Sat) but watch out for more announcements soon - sign up to our newsletter if you want to hear from us direct.

First week success - and not a drop of rain!

 





Our first week of movies finished with on Saturday with a day of detention at The Breakfast Club.  Sell out nights for Ferris Bueller, Heathers and Breakfast Club and not a drop of rain in sight.  Everyone loved the seats with the cushions, handmade by the Crafty Bitches.  The cafe's chorizo hotdogs kept everyone warm (with the odd glass of wine, obv).  Twitter went crazy, lots of lovely comments on Facebook and we can't wait for next week's horror fest.  American Werewolf, Shaun of the Dead and 28 Days Later.  Click on the Silent Cinema logo above left to book.

              

Silent Cinema arrives in Deptford

If you're coming to The Deptford Project for one of our film nights, here's some information that might help.  The Deptford Project is located less than a minute's walk from Deptford High Street station (regular trains from London Bridge - one stop, journey time, 6 minutes).  Come out of the station, turn right, The Deptford Project is 100 yards up the road on the right - you can't miss the train carriage cafe.

If the weather is going to be a little less than kind, we have constructed a really beautiful canopy over our cinema from old parachutes.  It might be a little chilly, so come prepared.  Cushions are available for all the seats, made specially by Crafty Bitches.

Food will be available from The Deptford Project Cafe to eat while you watch.  A special BBQ will operate every night that the cinema is open selling freshly made chorizo and roasted pepper hot dogs, Toulouse sausage hotdogs and vegetarian options of tarragon and mushroom or butternut squash and garlic sausage hotdogs.

A bar will operate throughout the evening - eat, drink, watch and be merry.

Deptford high street comes alive for summer

We have new neighbours in the railyway arches.  
Artists The Good Life and Jail Make, Crafty Bitches, Boro design, Union Cycles and Insa's Custom Paint Shop.

We've converted the arches into workshop spaces and everyone's working hard to make them their new temporary home.  Watch this space for updates.

In September we'll be doing our very own outdoor cinema space.  The seats are being designed by Jail and Boro using old wooden pallets.  Our Crafty Bitches will then step in to make the squashy colourful bits that make them comfortable.

We're working on plans to run a series of outdoor eating experiences here to - think Cook, Thief, Wife, Lover meets The Mad Hatter's Tea Party.  Watch out for more details.

One of our friends is getting married at The Deptford Project on Saturday 31st July.  This is th  canopy they've made for their party on site.

Union Cycles are going to be curating Espresso Sprinting and The Tour de’ptford, bike riding cinema (with The Bicycle Film Festival) and running bespoke bike workshops where you can bring your own bike here and customise it.

INSA's Chop Shop has it's first commission, painting this classic Bentley.  We'll let you know when it's done.


Our carriage, currently painted with a design by INSA is being redesigned by our new heroes Airside. They're planning an interactive piece working with Deptford locals. Airside are currently collection a whole raft of local stories and tales which they'll then translate into a graphic extravaganza on the train telling a million stories about Deptford. 

Come and see what's happening. See you soon
