From Shakespeare to Grime, London is bursting with urban stories. The Weekender returns with two days of packed full of free art, dance, music, theatre and film for everyone on the Barbican Foyers.

 

Watch a FreeStage programme that includes Roxxxan, Dizralie and the Small Gods, young drummers from East London and performance poetry by the Barbican Young Poets.  

You can also join street dance classes with Boy Blue Entertainment, make an Opera in a Day led by the Hip Hop Shakespeare Company and make your mark on our Digital Graffiti wall. With a late surprise guest DJ, Street Food Stalls, the Wah Nails Pop-Up boutique and free running by Streets United you’ll never look at the Barbican Foyers in the same way again!

Still undecided about coming? Watch a clip from Barbican Bolero which features Streets United, then RSVP on the Facebook page.
