Pullens Yards

Friends of the Pullens Yards and other hidden gems of the Elephant & Castle area may be interested  in the following forthcoming event:

City Hunt comes to Elephant and Castle this half-term; with special kids hunts happening on the 24, 25th and 28th October!

This interactive urban game will take you through the streets of Elephant and Castle, tracing back the rich history of this area in a bid to win one of several exciting prizes. On your journey you may bump into some of the characters who have animated this area in the past. Prizes include a £250 bike voucher at Cycle PS, Zombie Apocalypse Survival Training and a meal at the Hilton Hotel, but there are over 100 prixes to be won so get stuck in!

Here in Peacock Yard, we’re just beginning to get back to normal business after our recent Summer Open Studios 2015 (and to start the preparation for our Winter 2015 event!).

Here, meanwhile, is a message just received containing a link to a blog describing one visit to the Summer festivities:
