Things To Do

Electric Winter at Between The Bridges

NOTE: Between The Bridges is currently closed, and reopens on 26th April.


Welcome to Between The Bridges, London’s 4,000 sq ft festival of fun – which can most boringly be described as a “really big beer garden” but should more accurately be described as “a massive, free to enter al fresco adult playground which fuses a smorgasbord of bars and street food with DJs, live music, drag brunches and special events; all packed into four different dining areas right by the Thames.”

It’s called Between The Bridges – possibly because it’s located between Westminster and Hungerford Bridges, but who knows – and tickets are now on sale for its festive events season, Electric Winter. We’re talking drag brunches hosted by Ru Paul stars like Tayce and Baga Chipz; Christmas massaoke; raucous games nights with limbo, beer pong and musical chairs; the ultimate entertainment mash-up with drag emo karaoke; festive gigs from the legendary brass troupe, Old Dirty Brasstards; Sunday afternoon markets with the SoLo Craft Fair; DJ sets and late-night parties with Guilty Pleasures; and more. All of which take place under heated, covered, bauble-bedecked tents: this is England, after all.

The food and drink options at Between The Bridges are plentiful too, thanks to pop up bars serving craft beers and cocktails, alongside a sizeable line up of street food traders including Made of Dough; The BBQ Dept; and Chick’n’Sours. There’s even a special residency from Le Chalet just for the winter, serving up melted raclette cheese, smoked meats and more.

Consider them your internal hot water bottle.
