This summer, the Royal Docks in East London hosts At the Docks, an expansive programme of over 70 events and 300 activities running from June to September. Highlights include immersive exhibitions, open-air dance festivals on Silverworks Island, and the return of the family-friendly Summer Splash lido at Royal Victoria Dock this Friday.
The free outdoor lido, open from 25 July to 17 August, features lifeguards, sandpits, deckchairs, kids' swimming lessons, and evening DJ sets. Designed to offer a safe and accessible water space for local communities and those without private outdoor areas, it draws tens of thousands of visitors each year.
The weekend also marks the 10th anniversary of Ensemble Festival, with circus, theatre, and dance curated by Certain Blacks. Across two days, visitors will be able to see ground-breaking free performances by diverse artists from the margins to the mainstream.
Lasting from June to September, At the Docks celebrates inclusive regeneration and creative vibrancy on London's waterside with a mix of art, culture, sport, and play. You can find out more about what's on here.
