What's on
From family support, fitness classes and learning to art exhibitions, festivals and talks, our activities are wide and far reaching.
This September, Londoners are invited to rediscover one of the South Bank’s best-kept secrets as Gabriel’s Wharf unveils its biggest creative celebration yet: the highly anticipated return of the Gabriel’s Wharf Arts Festival 2025, following last year’s resounding success.
Taking place across two Saturdays: 6 and 20 September this free, family-friendly festival offers a vibrant mix of live music, spoken word, art and craft activities, and riverside revelry, all set within one of London’s most characterful independent quarters.
A Creative Hub with Heart
Since the 1980s, Gabriel’s Wharf has been a nurturing ground for artists, designers, musicians, and independent businesses. This year’s festival honours that legacy with a line-up that celebrates local talent, cultural diversity, and community spirit.
Expect everything from soulful jazz and folk guitar to street theatre, hands-on art workshops, comedy, roving performers, and readings by celebrated authors; all nestled among independent shops, studios, and al fresco eateries along the Thames Path.
"Gabriel’s Wharf has always been a place where creativity thrives. This festival is a chance for Londoners to reconnect with the artists, makers, musicians, and shopkeepers who give this corner of the South Bank its unique heart and soul."
