Gabriel's Wharf, London, UK

Gabriel’s Wharf is South Bank’s original pop-up enclave, home to an eclectic selection of small, owner-run businesses with a focus on the handmade and the sustainable.

On two Saturdays in September, Gabriel’s Wharf hosts an arts celebration with free art workshops, live music and performances all on the programme. Highlights across both weekends include performances by poet Tia-zakura whose unique style blends storytelling and rhyming patterns and free creative crafting activities for families, including bunting-making at painting.

Coming up at this year's festival!
