‘Feast on the Bridge is about bringing people together in celebration to share food, to talk, to dance and to reclaim a beautiful public space in the heart of the city.’ Clare Patey – Curator, Feast on the Bridge

Feast on the Bridge, London’s most inspiring and spectacular food event, returns to Southwark Bridge for a fourth year. As well as delicious food from some of the UK ’s best sustainable producers, there will be workshops, baking, live music, dancing and making merry!

This year Brockwell Bake will set up their bakery on the bridge, milling heritage wheat grown on London allotments and baking bread in wood fired ovens. There's a giant fruit salad toss made from surplus fruit, along with a theatrical food waste game, bicycle-drawn skip chariots and a filmic finale from Magnificent Revolution’s cycle-powered cinema. Come and learn about bees and wormeries, and try your hand at thatching, butter churning and corn dolly making.

Other highlights include mass toasting, shadow puppets, edible hats, scarecrows, composting, skep-making, cake decorating, morris men, food stories and much, much more…

Live music from Les Apaches, Errol Linton, Movimiento Cultural, Amigo Artista, Brassroots, Mariachi Mexteca, Fanfara din Vorona, Trans-Siberian March Band and Hot Club of Belleville.

Absolutely fabulous! We really enjoyed it - to be sitting on a bridge in the middle of London eating and drinking - just great!

We went there last year and it was absolutely great. Looking forward to it already.

Just a shame that it is only one Saturday.

My friend from Leeds came down last year and we ate, drank and danced our way along the river. She’s coming again this year so we can do it all again. Its THE London event I look forward to all year round. Thank you London!

I’m keeping everything crossed as I’m taking a group (from U3A) and hope we will find seating for food not difficult.
We’re looking forward to the experience.
