About this event
GDIF's opening weekend fills Greenwich Park with outdoor theatre, circus and dance from more than 25 UK and international companies. Greenwich Fair is the free-roaming heart of it: short shows running back to back on the hill below the Royal Observatory, so you can drift between pieces instead of committing to one. Bring a blanket and make an afternoon of it.
Why we picked it
A genuinely international performance programme that costs nothing, staged in one of London's most photogenic parks.
Free entry
The festival organiser bills GDIF as 'London's most spectacular free festival' with 'FREE ART EVERYWHERE'; Greenwich Fair sits in the free outdoor programme. Exact daily running times were not stated on the organiser page checked.
