Greenwich and Docklands Festival is back and starts today

The Greenwich and Docklands Festival is back and set to run until 8th September.

The event kicks off today (Friday 23rd August) with a performance of Silence! at the Royal Artillery Barracks in Woolwich.

It starts at 8:30pm and lasts 50 minutes with a mix of pyrotechnics and percussion. Food and drinks stalls will be on site from 7:30pm.

It’s free and there’s no need for a ticket. Les Commandos Percu are behind the show.

This weekend then sees Thaw with a performance on a 2.7 tone block of ice suspended in the air. That’s at the University of East London campus. To reach that there’s the Elizabeth line to Custom House then a quick DLR east, or the Superloop route SL3 starting in North Woolwich will stop nearby.

From then on there’s various events all over from Stratford to Abbey Wood, Deptford to Eltham and beyond.

Thamesmead will see an event at the town’s Clocktower. The full programme can be viewed here.
