What's On
The Potters Fields Fair
20 June 2026
Join us at Potters Fields Park for our 21st birthday celebration on Saturday 20th June and prepare for a family fun-packed day with activities and live entertainment.
From ska and trad jazz, from sports day-themed challenges (and a dog show) to kids’ activities and traditional Catalan castell, we’ll have something for everyone. There’s a great food and drink offer from neighbours Hiver Beers and Tower Bridge Collective (as well as the ever-popular Pimm’s teapot) and a mini retail pop-up market with walks & talks and local traders helping to pass the time between the acts.
Starting with the first of two sets of foot-tapping New Orleans jazz from Doolally Tap, the programme continues with a dance performance from Southwark College students, a dog show (organised by Bermondsey-based Hiver Arches) and a thrilling display of castell (human pyramid-building) from Castellers of London. Later in the afternoon, The Overproofs bring their rich mix of Jamaican-influenced R’n’B, ska, dub rock, and reggae to the stage. The music ends with two sets from The Bikini Beach Band, described as “London’s kings of surf-noir” The stage hosts and comperes are Good Time Gals, (self-styled ‘go-to party people for organised mayhem’).
The Potters Fields Fair is presented by Potters Fields Park Management Trust with Team London Bridge.
