Summer at the Wharf 2026

Summer at the Wharf 2026

For the second year running, Made by Many & Friends are hosting a two-day festival that just so happens to coincide with SXSW landing in London.

Summer at The Wharf is a two-day event that is part-talks, part-party, set in the heart of London's creative quarter at Diespeker Wharf. They're opening the doors to the studio and canal-side courtyard for a relaxed gathering of designers, technologists, and cultural explorers.

​Upstairs, the studio becomes an intimate venue for talks and panels curated for a future-curious crowd with topics ranging from AI anxiety, branding, design, innovation and strange internet culture. ​Downstairs, they're turning the Diespeker Wharf courtyard into a two-day canal-side hang out with all day BBQ, courtyard bar with cocktails, beers, acoustic sets and DJs.

​There are two ways to experience Summer at The Wharf:

​Studio Talks + Courtyard Access

​Thursday Pass: £10

​Friday Pass: £15

​Stand Up at The Wharf

  • ​Comedy only ticket for Thursday 4th June 6-9pm: £5

See you at the Wharf 🌊
