The event starts at 4pm and finishes at 5:30 and the route is as per map below.  You can start and finish anywhere but we will have extra maps at the three pubs listed (the Alexandra, the Bridge House and the Goldsmiths) so if you can’t use a phone image on the day or print one off, you can collect a map from these venues.

The event is free, all we ask is that the children dress up.  We are very grateful to the Penge Traders Association, who assist in the event and of course the 26 community minded shops, cafes, takeaways and pubs taking part.  They all do this because they thoroughly enjoy the day.

Have a great time but stay safe, it’ll be busy and the children will be excited.

There is currently enough funding to deliver works to around 12 shop units as part of the project. A strategy has been developed to select potential units for improvement which will create the highest beneficial impact for the High Street.

LB Bromley are seeking applications from businesses wishing to take part in the project and benefit from the proposed works (permission of both the business leaseholder and freeholder will be required). The majority of of the costs associated to the works and related fees are to be covered by Bromley Council, although a minimum 10% of the cost will be sought from the shop owner/proprietor as matchfunding.

If you meet the requirements and wish to take part complete an Expression of Interest form by 30th May 2018.

The post Penge Easter Trail 2016 – In Pictures appeared first on Penge Tourist Board.

In late September 2015, the PTB approached a couple of dozen shops on the High Street and Maple Road and asked them if they would like to partake in the inaugural Halloween Trail.  Well, would they?  We should say so, most were so keen they nearly ripped our arms off…  That should have given us a clue as to the fondness within SE20 for things that go bump in the night…

So, by the big day, we had 23 traders and our lovely local bobbies available to supply the children of Penge with treats.  We set the route, advertised the event online and wondered if many would turn up.  Boy, did our little monsters not let us down.  Starting at the Bridge House Tavern and progressing all the way to the Goldsmiths,the High Street was invaded  by hordes of little ghouls, ghosts, witches, werewolves and vampires; not tens, not twenties but hundreds of them, accompanied by their parents and guardians, many of them equally terrifyingly clad.

We enjoyed every minute and hope you did too.  Here’s to more spooky japes next year!

The winner of the Fancy Dress competition was little Cooper, the two year old ‘mummy’.

Below are pictures of just a few of the many children, parents and traders who made the day such fun:

We’d like to thank the following traders for taking part: Bridge House Tavern, Pretty Little Cupcakes, Magic Nails, London Door Co, SE20 Cycles, Bonnys, Blue Mountain, Penge and Cator Police Station, Bluebell Cafe, Maple Cafe, Crooked Billet, Penge Cafe, Chic Boutique, Solitaire Jewellers, Fosdicks, McDonalds, Murray Brothers, Designer Drapes, Macks Chemists, Property World, Stitch to Stitch, Fun Cutz and the Goldsmiths.

A credit to Penge, each and every one of them.
