RA Burlington Gardens Festival

A whole afternoon of fun street entertainment at the Royal Academy, with activities to amuse all ages. A Yinka Shonibare-designed wrap is now covering the venue while it undergoes building works, so many of the activities are inspired by the artist and his work. Try a Nigerian-inspired menu in the pop-up Artist's Dining Room, make your mark on the silver ink wall, join an interactive Samba parade through the RA's hidden spaces and create a colourful family portrait in a textiles and print workshop. There'll also be food stalls, craft beer, smoothies and ice cream on sale.
