Carnaby Summer Festival

Carnaby Street’s bars, restaurants and retailers are coming together for this fortnight-long summer festival featuring creative workshops, giveaways, live musical performances and loads of great retail and dining offers. A pop-up on Foubert’s Place will host free workshops where you can learn new skills ranging from life-drawing and pottery painting to candle making and kokedama workshops (booking required) while visitors can also get their hands on loads of freebies, including a free water bottle in Just Hype, Korean ice cream cups in Korean Dinner Party and even a free piercing in Metal Morphosis. Head down to the central London shopping hotspot on Thursday evenings to catch live bands, and then finish up by checking out special menus and great deals at 14 different bars and restaurants on the street including Dishoom, Shoryu, Mamma Pastrama and Kanada-Ya.
