Free Festivals

1 August 2010 12 noon - 7 pm

A cultural explosion led by our local community. We are investing in our community’s potential to help create a legacy of raised aspiration and increased creative and entrepreneurial opportunities.

Our festival, held on the first Saturday of August each year, celebrates the diversity of our community; its progress through the years and the fusion of numerous ethnic groups which now call Brixton home. Ours is a cultural festival that combines a fascinating mix of music, arts and crafts, food, live music, theatre, dance performances and sound systems that celebrates local talent. The Festival includes soundsystems, a main stage, craft and food stalls and a family and arts area this year and includes many of Brixton's most famous landmarks:

Windrush Square
The Peace Gardens
Electric Avenue
Coldharbour Lane

Press Release:

EjectorSeat Presents: Arts Festival at the Pavilion.
Turning the parks into a hub of cultural activity.

Date: Saturday 5th June 2010. Location: Palmerston Park, Southampton

EjectorSeat will be transforming Palmerston Park into a gallery of Southampton’s arts and media culture and musical talent - For one day only artists will have a chance to showcase what they can do in a public space.

A range of local bands will be performing at the Bandstand - collaborating with choirs and orchestras; and there will be a drumming workshop and performance, bringing together professionals and complete beginners alike.

A Film Tent with help from City Eye, (a local community filmmaker’s organisation) will screen premières of local films, alongside entries for their film competition which is being held in connection with the festival.

There will also be an arts market filled with the best in local culture (from fanzines to hand-made crafts) which will hold various free workshops for everyone to get involved in. The Park will become a gallery, and live illustration groups will be working away all over the Park throughout the day.

The organisation’s aim is to celebrate local arts culture, and create a dialogue between artists. Mac Ince, co-founder of EjectorSeat said: “There’s so much artistic activity in Southampton that is under the radar, we really want the public and other artists to take notice.”

Southampton’s Art House Gallery Caf! will be selling food & refreshments for all to enjoy on the day.



Only festival of it's type in Southampton, going to be good :T
