Paradise Gardens Festival

London’s newest outdoor venue – London Pleasure Gardens opens in spectacular fashion this weekend as the first of a number of festivals on the site gets underway.

Featuring acts including Alabama 3, Ragga Twins, Ska Cubano, and  Hypnotic Brass Ensemble, Paradise Gardens Festival will also have performers, a pyrotechnic display by the team behind the Titanic anniversary show in Belfast, a craft fair, village fete and all the trappings of a festival.

The site, which will be a permanent fixture and features music, arts, cafes and bars, a pop-up hotel and sculpture park, was created on an old industrial site at The Royal Docks.
