Visit Lewisham: Forest Hill Pools

On Saturday 22 September, Forest Hill celebrates the official opening of Forest Hill Pools with a day long feast of entertainment, activities and fun throughout the area. Forest Hill Pools will be one of the main focus areas with taster sessions, tours of the new facility, exhibitions and more. But don't miss the Victorian theme in Forest Hill Library with story telling sessions, the chance to record your memories of Forest Hill in days gone by and some creative writing opportunities. There's fun for the whole family with Wii gaming in the library, entertainers throughout the day, traditional Victorian board games and free Victorian sweets. The day will also be a chance to find out more about the Portas Pilot - an initiative to help regenerate the area and drop in on Sydenham School as they celebrate their 95th anniversary. Look out too for special offers from local traders in their Totally Locally campaign and amazing original art and design from the artists of Havelock Walk.
