Leadenhall Live, a unique cultural event series which is free to attend – returns to The Leadenhall Building, better known as The Cheesegrater, from 23 June to 16 July 2026.
Following the success of last year’s edition, which established the building’s 30m-high public galleria as a unique cultural destination within the Square Mile, Leadenhall Live returns in 2026 offering more than 30 events including talks and workshops, live performance and artistic activations as well as high-energy fitness experiences.
The programme opens the first week with “London’s Funnest Wine Tasting”, a guided wine tasting reimagined as a late-night talk show hosted by Tasting Notes Workshop, where sommelier and saxophonist Charlie blends storytelling, wine expertise and live jazz, funk, blues and Latin bossa.
Flow Dance Outreach brings movement and energy into the public galleria with beginner-friendly workshops in Salsa, Cha Cha, Viennese Waltz and Jive. Music will continue throughout the four weeks in collaboration with Sofar Sounds, transforming The Cheesegrater into an intimate live music venue for featuring some of London’s most exciting emerging artists.
The third week includes one of the City’s largest ever Hackathons, hosted in partnership with AI-powered software company Bolt.new, as well as the return of award-winning journalist and author Vicky Spratt, who hosts S**t! I’m in my 30’s: What’s the Plan for Retirement?* – a sharp and funny conversation unpacking the realities of financial planning in your thirties.
Over the course of the month partners such as The Wellverse, FRAME, ROWBOTS and SoulCycle will deliver high-energy fitness experiences spanning running, cycling, rowing, yoga, barre, pilates and rebound trampoline workouts.
Leadenhall Live is curated by agency Ch!lled, and presented by C C Land, owners of The Leadenhall Building, and Savills, who manage the building and visitor experience. The cultural event series once again takes place within the 30-metre-high public galleria at the base of the skyscraper, framed by some of London’s most iconic buildings including The Gherkin and Lloyd’s of London.
Events take place throughout the day and free and open to the public. Full programme details and ticket information will be available via the Leadenhall Live website (www.leadenhall.live) and with updates shared via @LeadenhallLive on Instagram.
