Bartholomew Fayre: Power to the People
Join us for two jam-packed days of free neighbourhood fun for all ages taking over Smithfield!

Enjoy an exciting mix of FREE hands-on art, talks and walking tours and live performances inspired by the anarchic joyousness of the original Bartholomew Fair and the radical histories of Clerkenwell, Farringdon and Smithfield.
Get stuck into everything from zine making and puppetry workshops to music and poetry performances, arts and crafts, graffiti art, imaginative play, food and drink available to purchase and loads more.
Whether you’re 7 or 77 there’s something for everyone - families, friends, solo wanderers, curious minds, and seasoned radicals alike.
Expect laughter, learning, big ideas, and brilliant people. Come to create, connect, share stories, and celebrate the power of community.
Everyone’s welcome. Everything’s possible. Power to the People!
