Britain's What's On Event Guide
Urban Village Fete
LONDON’S FAVOURITE FREE FESTIVAL, URBAN VILLAGE FETE RETURNS TO GREENWICH PENINSULA ON 19 MAY
Urban Village Fete, London’s best free festival, returns to its unrivalled Thames-side destination at Greenwich Peninsula on 19 May. International DJs Gilles Peterson and Jamz Supernova headline the eclectic, alternative and hands-on programme, which promises everything you would expect from a traditional summer fete – but with an urban twist!
Promising all the fun of the Fete, this year’s line-up includes:
• Headliners: International DJ superstars Gilles Peterson and Jamz Supernova
• Take a seat at Design District and join ‘Creative Conversations’, a series of discussions with some of London’s most compelling minds, hosted by BBC London’s Robert Elms
• The return of The Incredibly Clever Canine Circus, proving that every dog (and their owner!) can learn new tricks
• The Charity Shop DJ collective brings their democratic dance vibe down with the People’s Party – where the audience choose the tunes
• An unmissable carnival workshop and procession with Kinetika Bloco
• This summer’s alternative Olympics, the Allympics promises everyone a chance to get on the podium with events for all from Show Jumping and Relay to Egg and Spoon Race and the less expected, Hurl the Pineapple
• The cutting-edge environs of London’s Design District will become the Urban Village Hall offering cool, interactive workshops including the colossal and immersive, Doodle Apartment and Wonky Veg Sculpture competition
• Help Greenwich Peninsula come to life throughout the day as an origami model village, with A Line’s Fold Your Town
• The Independent Traders Market with baked goods to handmade crafts
• Plus: The Bureau of Silly Ideas, Bus King puppet show & puppet-making workshop, Toy Making Workshop, free face-painting, enough international, organic, vegan and downright delicious eats to fill its own festival – and so much more!
