The High Street Challenge.2019/20

The aim of the High Street Challenge is to attract more people to Southwark’s high streets and town centres, and to increase the amount that is spent in the area. All projects will make a positive contribution to helping local SMEs thrive and making our high streets more inclusive, particularly for low income and BAME communities.

We launched our High Street Challenge Fund in 2014 to enable residents, businesses and community groups with an interest in Southwark to help improve their local high streets.

Since then we have funded nearly 50 projects across the borough, supporting great initiatives from markets to waste management via pop up shops and lots of events!

Who can apply?

The fund is open to a range of organisations and we welcome partnerships that bring together diverse skills and expertise. We want to hear from you if you're a:

• business network
• voluntary sector, community or resident group
• educational establishment such as a school, college, or university
• group from the arts or creative sectors
• individual business (if representative and supported by other local businesses)

Southwark Fireworks

The display is free to residents and one of few fireworks events in the capital to fall on the very night Guy Fawkes was discovered, guarding explosives beneath parliament, 5 Nov, 1605. Southwark’s fireworks display is named one of the best in the capital by visitlondon.com, and this year’s promises another superlative show, uniquely synchronised to music.

As this is a popular event everyone will need a ticket to attend. We recommend booking your ticket in advance to guarantee entry.

If you are a Southwark resident, please have your postcode ready and enter it without a space when prompted for the access key.
Tickets are available from Saturday 22 September
