Get ready to crank up the summer vibes as Urban Village Fete is returning to the Peninsula.

A fun-filled day of creativity and imagination for the whole family!

With a jam-packed programme of music, performances, talks, and workshops, there are plenty of opportunities to get involved. You can also grab a bite to eat from our street food traders and enjoy the atmosphere from your picnic blanket.

Legendary DJ Gilles Peterson returns to the Fete for another unforgettable set, this time he’ll be joined by the sonic storyteller, tastemaker, and global broadcaster, Jamz Supernova. Get ready for an epic day of musical magic as these two legends combine their talents to create an experience you won't want to miss!
