South Bank Centre Winter Festival 2024

The South Bank is fairy-lit and lovely all year round, but it’s a particularly good spot if you want to avoid the hectic hordes of central London High Street and chill out by catching an exhibition or performance, or perhaps shopping for a gift with a lot more charm.

The festival runs from the beginning of November until the new year and includes a packed programme of free and affordable events for everyone to enjoy. A highlight in the cultural calendar, visitors can step into the glittering world of the Southbank Centre to experience dazzling circus, exhibitions, theatre, music and comedy performances alongside free workshops, glimmering Winter Light art installations and the return of the wonderful Winter Market.
