The 2022 Festival - record audiences
We had a record audience in 2022. 1,698 audience members attended, up more than 300 from 2021. The average number of people was also up sharply and double from when we started 12 years ago.
In 2021 it looked as though we had attracted more younger people, whilst older people were reluctant to come to concerts in crowded rooms. In 2022 we kept our new larger young audience and our older audience returned.
Our web publicity reached more people than ever before, and in October our web site had the largest number of visits it has ever received. Most people learn about Festival events by word-of-mouth or from the programmes we deliver door-to-door. A third of our audience comes from Herne Hill, with another third from neighbouring areas and the rest from across London.
