Top pick of the festivals ‘09 – SUNDAY TIMES FESTIVAL GUIDE 

Following a stunning arts showcase at Shunt last week, Standon Calling is back in the Capital again on 4^th and 5^th July with a joy-packed afternoon and evening showcase of what’s in store for creative attractions. On top of a sterling evening of entertainment in Café Oto, Standon will return the following afternoon to host a family picnic, bring your whole tribe!

The Standon Calling picnic is a preview of this years’ kids’ area and will be complete with reggae nursery rhymes from Maurice, group games, facepainting and a general feast of silliness for the whole clan.

The Teddy bears picnic follows an evening showcase at Dalston’s Café Oto – the perfect hangover cure for everyone!
