About this event
London's leading festival of outdoor theatre and performing arts returns for a fortnight of work staged in streets, parks and squares across the south-east and east of the city. The programme spans theatre, dance, circus and large-scale visual spectacle, built for people who happen to be passing as much as for those who plan ahead.
Why we picked it
A major, genuinely open-air arts festival where the great majority of the programme carries no admission charge.
