Held at the Lea Bridge Library in Leyton, People's Pavilion Festival is a free community festival that aims to empower and inspire young designers, makers, and creatives through a varied programme of entertainment and educational events.

Taking place from 29 July to 11 August, People's Pavilion Festival is produced by the award-winning Beyond The Box Initiative and a team of young cultural producers from East London. The centrepiece of the festival is the Pavilion, a temporary structure set up in the grounds of the Lea Bridge Library and designed by a trio of 18-year-old aspiring architects and designers in a competition held across seven East London boroughs.

During the festival, the People's Pavilion will host a varied programme of events for adults and children, including film screenings, live music, dance classes, poetry workshops, discussions, AI workshops, a supper club, and more. All of the events are free to attend. You can find more information on the programme and how to sign up here.
