From 31 August to 16 September, the City will become the stage for an array of exciting, unique entertainment, and live performances taking place across the Square Mile. 

Bartholomew Fair, which dates back to the 12th century and was last held in 1855, began as a cloth fair and quickly became London’s pre-eminent event, entertaining visitors for over 700 years. It drew acts and crowds from all over the country and further afield. The City’s revival, which takes place from 31 August to 16 September, sees a programme of UK and internationally renowned artists bringing a modern twist in a spectacular celebration of contemporary culture and the City of London’s unique heritage.

The epic recreation of Bartholomew Fair in the City of London will see over 250 free events, live performances, and unique spectacles in a contemporary reimagining of the capital’s greatest historic event.
