Summer Sessions
We’re gearing up for months of sunny days and warm evenings on the Tide with a season-long programme packed out with events and activities, all set against a vibrant backdrop designed by Yinka Ilori. We can’t wait to welcome you back...
Promise Me Memories And I Will Let You In
Yinka Ilori, London’s favourite multi-disciplinary artist, is set to transform the Tide this summer with a vibrantly colourful, truly celebratory take-over. Using his signature flair for bold shades and graphic patterns, Ilori will conjure up a playful, immersive, joy-generating area, designing everything from artwork to cover the floor to brightly coloured bespoke flags. The idea? That you’ll head down with your family and friends to let loose, reconnect and create memories. You’ll find hopscotch made from reclaimed car tyres and a crazy golf course as well as pocket spaces to explore and photo-ready picnic benches to gather around. The centrepiece, though, will be the stage, which will play host to the Summer Sessions’ incredible lineup of music and film over the next few months.
Flow Farmers’ Market
A new regular addition to the Peninsula’s weekend offering, this farmers’ market is fast becoming a firm favourite with the both the local community and anyone else who’s making their way along the Thames on a Sunday morning. Curated by Bompas & Parr and produced by Urban Food Fest, it’s a hub of sustainable produce and takeaway food, from freshly baked bread, artisanal cheeses and organic meat to wood-fired pizzas and Korean street food. Find it right by the river every other week, all through the summer.
The Jazz Weekender
The return of our much-loved music festival, packed out with incredible live jazz sets to soundtrack your weekend. Saturday’s programme has been curated by Harry Christelis of Clonmell Jazz Social and features the Bruno Heinen Trio, Daisy George and the Ferg Island Trio. While on Sunday the lineup has been put together by long-time champions of young musicians Tomorrow’s Warriors, and features three ensembles led by rising talents Kasia Konstance, Jelly Cleaver and Akin Soul.
Represent FM
The award-winning Brixton-based radio station and sound of young London takes up residence for a series of weekends across the summer.
Film Nights
Bring a blanket and picnic and join us to watch our favourite cult classics on the integrated screen in our Yinka Ilori-designed stage.
Sports Day
Pull up your socks and start limbering up: in August we’ll be hosting a fun-filled sports day, dreamed up by Hemingway Design and awash with nostalgic games and endless family activities. And if you prefer your involvement in sport to be strictly non-participatory, you can give the three-legged race a swerve and settle down to watch the men’s and women’s Wimbledon Finals on our screen instead.
Charlie Dark
East London’s inspiring multi-hyphenate – he’s a poet, wellness pioneer, founder of the Run Dem Crew and legendary DJ – will take up residence for the weekend with a series of sets. Come on down and prepare to be uplifted.
