Thamesmead Festival

A mix of live music and DJ sessions on the main stage and unplugged stages, storytelling and spoken word under the trees, together with dance, comedy and a carnival procession that weaves through residential streets led by Kinetika Bloco.

Located on the banks of Southmere Lake, flanked by willow trees and wildflowers, this is a festival setting like no other.

With a strong emphasis on homegrown talent and creativity, the full line-up, programmed by the Thamesmead Festival Production Group in partnership with live event producer Serious, will be announced soon.

Visual art becomes part of the landscape from the vibrantly muralled underpasses to a trail of eye-popping art installations by local artists. Local flavours extend to beloved street food pop-ups including heavenly dumplings from Himalayan Tiffin and Back a Yard’s Grill’s legendary jerk chicken, both of which can be washed down with freshly made smoothies by DB catering.
