Greenwich Fair

After a break brought on by tightened post-pandemic budgets, the Greenwich Fair – the colourful family friendly festival within the Greenwich + Docklands International Festival – seems to be making good on last year’s combeack edition as it’s back this year too. The riotous and completely free two-day showcase of theatre, dance and games is back for 2026, and once again takes place in Greenwich Park and will feature nine full blown shows you can see completely gratis, ranging from feminist highwire act ElevateHer by Daughters of the Wire, to Kismat Walla by Thingumajig Theatre, a magical outdoor puppetry show inspired by South Asian street markets. Most of the GDIF line-up is suitable for kids, but with its focus on daytime shows in lovely Greenwich Park, the Greenwich Fair is especially family friendly.
