This year’s festival will kick off with a Health Trail from the 2nd of July, which will lead visitors to some fantastic free or low cost health, sports and wellbeing activities across the area. Run in collaboration with The Abbey Centre and the Community Health Champions plus other local health and sports providers, the Health Trail programme will be jammed packed with great inclusive events for all ages.
The following weekend SouthWestFest will return to the streets of Westminster with pop-up performances in and across Belgravia, Victoria and Pimlico bringing some carnival, fiesta, and circus celebration back into the area. On the 10th of July the Online & Onfoot Art Trail launches featuring work from local artists, special art installations and live art performances.
The fun doesn’t stop there though, as well as the Health Trail and Art Trail, there will be lots of great events, workshops, classes, and activities across the full three week’s of the festival programme, produced in partnership with local organisations and venues from across the south Westminster area.
