Greenwich Fair

Tightened post-pandemic budgets have put the Greenwich Fair – the colourful family friendly festival within the Greenwich + Docklands International Festival – into hiatus the last couple of summers. The good news, though, is that the riotous and completely free two-day showcase of theatre, dance and games is back for 2025, albeit only as a result of a specifically targetted crowdfunder effort. Back to its old two-day length (it had slimmed down to just one before ist hiatus) Greenwich Fair will this year take place in Greenwich Park and features a host of live acts, running the gamut from heartwarming intergenerational dance show Go, Grandad, Go! to full on aerial highwire work from French compang Cie des Chaussons Rouges and their show Epiphytes (pictured).
