The annual Marylebone Summer Festival will return on Sunday, June 9, between 11:00 am and 5.30 pm (8 pm in Paddington Street Gardens). This year, the event will celebrate its 20th anniversary.
Marylebone Village will be fully pedestrianised and showcase the best of the area’s shopping and dining. Family-friendly activations to enjoy on the day include a pop-up mini golf course, a dedicated dog zone, ‘Bark in the Park’, a wellness hub with free exercise classes, a Ferris wheel and rides, live music featuring a variety of artists and genres in Paddington Street Gardens, a farmers market, and a lineup of unmissable entertainment to mark two decades of the much-loved community festival held in the heart of central London.
Fashion, beauty and wellness brands in Marylebone Village will offer an array of outside and instore activations as well as exclusive discounts, including Sézane, Mejuri, Margaret Dabbs London, MOSCOT, RIXO, Dinny Hall, Mud Australia and many more. There will be plenty of alfresco dining and bar options to enjoy the festival atmosphere and an abundance of street stalls offering food and beverages from the local cafes and restaurants for which Marylebone Village is renowned. Grab a bite to eat at stalls from Carlotta, Nathalie, The Coach Makers Arms, Fischer’s, Cavita, Lina Stores and The Italians, or enjoy a refreshing drink in the sunshine at pop-up bars hosted by 108 Brasserie, Home Marylebone, Marylebone Pub and Le Vieux Comptoir.
London’s most active dog community, YapYap, will be hosting ‘Bark in the Park’ in Marylebone Church Gardens. The canine zone will host various canine activities, including a cappuccino cart, doggy tarot card reading, portrait illustrations and silhouette profiles, a dog photo booth, and trick training workshops. Tickets can be purchased in advance for activities here. There will also be a variety of competitions with prizes to win, from Best Rescue to Most Talented, hosted by BBC Radio London’s ‘The Barking Hour’ show hosts Radios Jo Good and Anna Webb, designed for both owners and their pets to take part in.
For those in the mood to do something wholesome, join the many fitness activities throughout the day. Lululemon and THIRD SPACE will host a mix of HIIT, yoga and meditation classes. Also, opt into fitness competitions from local gyms, such as AMP and Club 51. Intelligent Fitness will run a raffle to win a one-month PT (x8 PT sessions at the Marylebone studio).
Marylebone Summer Festival is organised and funded by The Howard De Walden Estate, which carefully nurtures Marylebone Village, one of London’s most distinctive and atmospheric shopping destinations. This year’s festival will raise funds for a charity partner, the Young Westminster Foundation, which will invest in brighter futures for young people in the local area. There will be a charity tombola with various fashion, lifestyle and beauty prizes to win, and all sales made from Howard de Walden’s activations will be donated to the Young Westminster Foundation.
