Take Part

We are an open access cultural community festival and we encourage you to get involved. It’s free to register your event in our festival programme. Open access events and activities will be promoted in our print brochure and our online programme, plus you will receive a partner’s promotion pack with lots of information to support you in taking part in the festival!

Produce your own event

Register your event/workshop/activity as part of our 3 week celebratory cultural community festival programme which is SouthWestFest. Our festival will be running from the 2nd to the 23rd July 2021.

The festival is open access and we encourage local community groups, organisations, artists, creatives and individuals to host their own events and activities as part of this community celebration.

Events registered should be either free or very low cost. The aim of the festival is to get local community members out into the area to try new activities and learn about local groups, services and venues in an accessible manner.

This year you can register both online and physical/live events (ensuring they are Covid secure)

This year the festival theme is Reimagine plus each week will have a different focus…

2nd – 9th: Health & Wellbeing

10th – 16th: Arts & Culture

17th – 23rd: Community

If you have the flexibility, please align your event dates with the theme that best suits your event.

Take Part in our Online & On Foot Art Trail

Building on our pilot last Summer with our wonderful partner cave we are creating South Westminster’s biggest community Art Trail to date!

Artwork that is created by local artists; bringing art into the community by the community

Are you a local artist that lives or works in Churchill, Tachbrook, Vincent Square, St James, Warwick, West End or Knightsbridge and Belgravia wards within south Westminster? Then we want you to get involved!
