Looking for a creative alternative to Glastonbury this June? From Friday 27 to Sunday 29 June, the Woolwich Contemporary Print Fair: Summer Edition is taking over Woolwich Works – and it’s the perfect festival-meets-gallery experience for art lovers, music fans, and families alike. Here’s what not to miss:

1. Discover and Buy Original Art

Browse and buy original contemporary prints from some of the UK’s most exciting artists and galleries, including Jealous Gallery, Rhodes Editions, and Soho Revue. Meet the artists in person, ask about their techniques, and maybe even take home something special.

2. Enjoy Live Music All Weekend

From soulful acoustic sets to Brazilian jazz fusion, the live music lineup is packed with talent. Catch Remi Banklyn on Friday, Nia Ekanem and Josu Trio on Saturday, and Mouad Naghma on Sunday. Plus, DJs including sweetestcape and DJ Ghita will keep the summer vibes flowing.

3. Take Part in Drop-In Art Workshops

Whether you’re a seasoned printmaker or a curious beginner, there are hands-on workshops and creative activities for all ages throughout the weekend. It’s a great chance for families to get messy and make something memorable together.

4. Soak Up the Festival Atmosphere

Set in the riverside Fireworks Factory at Woolwich Works, the event brings festival energy without the mud. Expect artisan food and drink stalls, a laid-back crowd, and loads of space to explore. It’s a perfect weekend day out for locals and London day-trippers alike.

5. Join the Friday Night Preview Party

Kick things off early with the Public Preview Night on Friday 27 June (4pm–9pm). With drinks, DJs, and first-look access to the artworks, it’s the perfect way to start your weekend. Book early – this one’s likely to sell out fast!
