What locals say about Nunhead
“Nunhead has a lovely village-y feel while still being really close to bustling Peckham and New Cross. We have our own great restaurants, bars and shops close to Nunhead Green. A few favourites: great craft beer micro pub: the Beer Shop, lovely French bistro: Babette; amazing sour dough pizzas: 400 Rabbits.”
Hannah
“I love Peckham Rye because transport links are great. It takes 20 minutes by bus to get into the centre of London and 15 by train. The shops are great for food shopping and the area is bursting with culture.”
Camille
“I love Brockley because it is small and nice and not at all scary.”

Cody and Beau: A Wild West Story
written and presented by Dylan Kaeuper and William Grice In 1889 Texas, Cody and Beau have one goal: to become cowboys. From the safety of their shared bedroom, gunfights blaze and outlaw legends come alive. But when the boys plot an escape into the desert, the reality of the West proves far more complex than their magazine-fed fantasies. What begins as a wild ride toward freedom unfolds into a tender, searching exploration of masculinity, friendship, and the darker truths buried in Americas past. Fresh from an acclaimed run at the Edinburgh and Dundee Fringe, Cody and Beau: A Wild West Story returns for a limited London run with a bold reimagining of boyhood and the myths we inherit. Dylan and Will have been performing together since childhood. Cody and Beau: A Wild West Story was their debut production as collaborators. They set out to create something with an innocent and playful energy, before asking the audience to confront something darker the Wild West.

Suburban Legends is a quintessential Orange County Ska Band. Forming at Huntington Beach High School in 1999, they quickly made a name for themselves in the local OC ska scene. Best known for their over-the-top, dance-filled live performances, attending a Suburban Legends show at Disneyland was a right of passage for an entire generation of Orange County suburbanites. Their sound has evolved over the years, but fans always know they will get a powerful mixture of guitar-driven rock, high-energy ska, and the reimagining of classic Disney covers.
