OUR STORY
Before Instagram,
there was the lamppost.
Before group chats and timelines, Caribbean communities across Britain found out what was happening the old way: flyers. Posters for sound clashes, blues dances, fêtes and dominoes nights went up on walls and lampposts, and in record shops, barbershops and takeaways from Brixton to Handsworth, Chapeltown, Moss Side and St Pauls. Back home, the lamppost was the noticeboard too.
De Lamppost brings that community noticeboard online: a UK-wide directory of Caribbean events and the places where our food and culture live.
Every event and restaurant is reviewed before it’s published. Organisers and food businesses can submit a listing for consideration.
