Urban Village Fete

Greenwich Peninsula’s free family festival Urban Village Fete returns this May, offering a stellar lineup of DJs, live music, markets, creative workshops and street food on the banks of the river Thames. Look out for headline DJ slots from 6Music’s Gilles Peterson, vinyl disco DJ Jack Hemingway and London station LOOSE.FM, find a creative new hobby at workshops on dog training, pottery making, basket weaving and mushroom growing, or drop in to cultural talks hosted by BBC Radio London’s Robert Elms, who’ll be chatting about education and AI, street style, and collective action with a host of interesting panellists. There’ll also be an Independent Traders Market with baked goods, handmade crafts, and a smörgasbord of streetfood. Be sure to check out the schedule online and register for some bookable (but free) events to be in with a shout of winning one of 130 brilliant food, fashion and entertainment prizes provided by local businesses.
