Head to Blackheath, close to the Olympic venue of Greenwich Park, to see all the sporting action on The Lewisham Big Screen from the Opening Ceremony on 27th July to the Closing Ceremony on 12th August 2012. The big screen, measuring 7.6m by 4.8m, is located within walking distance of equestrian events at Greenwich Park and will be showing live BBC coverage of the London 2012 Games. You won't just be watching the sports, there will be sporting activities you can take part in - try your hand at a variety of sports from netball to Nordic walking in the have-a-go sessions in the Sport Zone. There will also be a mirrored Spiegeltent with food, drink and further activities. There are family friendly days out too. Take the children (aged 3-12) to the Creative Emporium on Saturday 4th August where there's a craft market and children's craft workshops on kite making and creating your own Olympic torch (£4 per child, maximum 15 children per session). Another highlight comes on Tuesday 7th August when Trinity Laban Conservatoire of Music and Dance will be performing in the spectacular Spiegeltent, giving a contemporary dance performance and holding fun workshops as part of their Family Dance Live event.
About Blackheath Common
Blackheath Common, to the south of Greenwich Park, is a World Heritage Site. It benefits from a high vantage point beside the Thames so you get some good views over the capital and from Point Hill you can see the three counties of Essex, Kent and Surrey laid out before you.
