The Gabriel's Wharf Arts Festival, our free creative event on the South Bank, is back for 2026! 

Join us for two unforgettable days on Saturday 5th and Saturday 19th September for a celebration of the Wharf's incredible contribution to the South Bank's artistic and cultural legacy, developed in the 75 years since the Festival of Britain. Enjoy live music and entertainment for all the family, plus shopping, dining, and drinking. 

Take the opportunity to meet our wonderful shop owners and maybe even stumble upon a keepsake that you'll treasure forever. See some of the makers at work in their shops, plus enjoy food and drink from around the globe.
