Reedham Village Lates returns to Old Lodge Lane this week with a gathering of lovers of art, culture and good conversation hosted at Steven Robertson Art tomorrow evening.

Village people: businesses in Reedham are staging a special evening on Aug 21

Reedham businesses Tenpin Records and Cocoa Jones Chocolate join forces with the art gallery to open late this Friday, August 21, for locals to view the art, shuffle through vinyl and sample craft chocolates.

Cocoa Jones will be providing demonstrations of different aspects of the chocolate-making process, Steven Robertson will be speaking on why “Art is a Necessity not a Luxury” and Tenpin Records will be spinning vinyl and host a performance by the SING a-Cappella Choir.

SING is a choir, based in Coulsdon and Purley which sings without instrumenta accompaniment. They perform all genres of music from classic pop to contemporary Americana and this Friday they will be singing a chocolate-themed repertoire.

On the evening, Cocoa Jones will be open to provide sustenance in the form of drinks, chocolate and cake.

The collaboration between the businesses and the community started in 2024, staging a series of events hosted by shops on Old Lodge Lane, a five-minute walk from Reedham Station, and served by the 312 bus from Croydon.

This Friday’s event runs from 4.30pm to 8pm. Entry is free and on a first come, first served basis.
