Get ready for your fill of free family fun
(and a sprinkling of community spirit too...)

Following the success of last year’s inaugural Islander Festival, we’re delighted to report this epic summer celebration is back for 2022! Circle Saturday 23 July in your diaries and get those sun hats on, because a quintessential British fête is on the way. 

Islander Festival takes over London City Island for one day only, bringing a bucket-load of activities to east London. There’ll be live performances, al fresco fitness classes, face painting, craft sessions, cocktail-making, the list goes on. Once you’ve partied up an appetite? Swing by the all-day barbecue to fill your boots.

As always the community remains at the heart of Islander Festival, with local artists and independent businesses leading the line-up. We’ve rounded up some festival highlights to help you make the most of it. Simply register for your free ticket below.

Oodles Of Family Fun

If you’ve got little ones in tow, you’ll all feel right at home. Dive into an array of outdoor games with events company Sharky & George (three words: water balloon catapult!), enjoy Gymboree’s hands-on music sessions or make a beeline for the face painting stand. Most family entertainment is free, so you can really make a day of it.

A Sneak Peek Inside...

Don’t miss the chance to glimpse inside the home of English National Ballet on an open house tour of this state-of-the-art building. Nearby, London Lighthouse Gallery hosts an artist talk from ceramic maker Marcella Renna, while an immersive quantum computing exhibition awaits at arebyte Gallery. Yes, really.

Interactive Workshops

Start your day with a beginner-friendly outdoor yoga session or conditioning fitness class. Next, unleash your creative prowess on a hand-sewing or ceramic-making workshop, led by local makers. Prefer something a little... stiffer? Soda & Friends’ cocktail-making masterclass is sure to pop the olive on your martini.

Kick Back And Relax!

Sometimes the best plan is no plan at all. Islander Festival centres around central Hopewell Square, mere seconds from the riverfront. You’re welcome to rock up, soak up the sunshine and see what tickles your fancy. From live music to roaming entertainers, market stalls to street food stands, there won't be a dull moment.
