West Norwood children celebrated Gypsy Roma travellers as part of a history month being held in Lambeth.

A day of events - including dancing, storytelling and theatre - took place at Nettlefold Hall last Friday.

Lambeth is one of just two London boroughs holding celebrations for this year’s Gypsy Roma Traveller history month.

The event was set up to explore the history, culture and language of the communities - not usually included in the school curriculum - and is intended to challenge myths and tackle prejudices.
