Peckham Conker Championships

Conkers isn’t just for kids, at least judging by the hordes of Londoners who show up to take part in Peckham Conker Club’s epic tournment each autumn. The playground favourite is treated with a great deal of reverence in the ‘Battle Royale’-style contest, which takes place under the arches of Peckham Rye train station. There’ll once again be a Junior and Senior competition in 2025, and as always, ‘nut-pimping’ and ‘stampsies’ are fair game in this chaotic contest (you can brush up on the rules here!), with the winner taking home a coveted Golden Nut. It’s free to enter, simply secure your ticket beforehand, select your best chegger (that’s Lancashire slang for a prize-winning conker, apparently) and get ready to go absolutely nuts.
