More info

For three weeks each midsummer, the Festival animates the unique buildings and outdoor spaces of the City with an extensive artistic programme ranging across many kinds of music, visual arts, film, walks and talks: more than 50 ticketed performances and a further 100 free events outdoors. In recent years its international character has been reinforced.

The Festival also delivers a year-round programme of arts projects in schools and community groups in the City of London and its surrounding boroughs. The creative energies of the education programme's participants generate a unique element of the Festival season: projects culminate in public performances and exhibitions during the Festival each summer.

Festival performances range from large-scale orchestral concerts in St Paul's Cathedral to intimate chamber recitals in the City's livery halls, and from innovative aerial acrobatics to jazz bands in the Guildhall Yard. The Festival promotes new and emerging artists as well as renowned international performers.
