South: Bankside Urban Forest
The final weekend of the Festival brings focus to the area stretching between the culturally vibrant south bank of the River Thames and the Elephant and Castle area further south. Taking its cues from Witherford Watson Mann architects’ Bankside Urban Forest scheme, it will create multiple opportunities for exchange between Festival visitors and local residents.

Festival activities include a theatre built from locally-sourced recycled materials by German architects Köbberling and Kaltwasser a pop-up cookery school at Borough Market, and guerrilla gardening projects.
