A season of arts experiences in venues and unusual spaces, putting culture at the heart of pandemic recovery. Kensington and Chelsea, London, is set to come alive with world class public art and live performances as it is transformed throughout the entire summer with an incredible indoor and outdoor festival celebrating London’s creativity and culture.
From 21 June – 31 August, the inaugural Kensington + Chelsea Festival will bring people together to inspire and be inspired. Launched with Kensington + Chelsea Art Week and ending with Notting Hill Carnival, the Festival’s programme will put culture at the heart of the borough’s recovery from the pandemic.
The Festival is evolving every day with new announcements about the programme, launch events, opportunities for artists, ideas-sharing sessions, internships, workshops that encourage co-creation, sharing ideas and stories. This celebration of the arts will feed into creating extraordinary experiences in extraordinary times.
Fun, inspirational, surprising experiences will be safe and accessible across Kensington and Chelsea’s iconic venues as well as unusual public spaces, with online and interactive ways to get involved and enjoy the Festival.
BURSTING WITH CREATIVITY, POSSIBILITY AND CHOICE

We believe it’s everyone’s right to help shape culture and influence possibilities. Local people, artists, audiences, staff and volunteers will reflect the diversity of our global borough and global reach.” Said the festival organisers.
