This year’s programme of free Royal Greewich Festival events kicks off this June. From festivals and workshops to performances and activities, Royal Greenwich Festivals bring free, inclusive events to all corners of the borough.
Cllr Adel Khaireh, Cabinet Member for Equality, Culture and Communities said: “Royal Greenwich Festivals brings our communities together to enjoy cultural activities and performances right across our borough.
“At a time when many of our local arts and culture organisations are still feeling the effects of the pandemic, we’re proud to be supporting their recovery through our funding programme. The events they deliver inspire and entertain and are a showcase of their amazing work. It’s so important to support our local organisations who provide employment and opportunities to residents of the borough as well as contributing to our creative economy.
“This year we have a brilliant range of local organisations on board who reflect the diversity of our residents. Events will be taking place in every corner of Royal Greenwich, so bring the family along and enjoy free, world class events on your doorstep this summer!”
With five festival providers and events across the summer, there’s something for everyone.
