Summer in the Park: Maryon Park

Maryon Park will burst into life this summer with Summer in the Park, your free-entry festival of music, movement, creativity and community spirit! From midday until sunset, the park’s rolling lawns become a stage for an unforgettable line-up of performances and activities designed to delight every age and interest.

First, lose yourself in the infectious rhythms of Ceilidh Tree, who’ll guide you through lively Scottish, Irish and English dances, from traditional reels to pirate shanties and Bollywood-flavored mash-ups, no prior experience required. Then, lift your heart with the soul-stirring harmonies of the Keynotes Choir, fresh from BBC and Wembley appearances, as they blend gospel, pop, R&B and folk for an uplifting set you won’t soon forget.

Dance takes many forms at Maryon Park. Watch the next generation shine with Dynamix Youth Dance, whose high-energy routines showcase Abbey Wood’s finest; marvel at the precise footwork of the Mulvihill Irish Dance Academy, where students aged 4+ leap into championship-level formations; and be moved by the poignant tale of Elephant and the Drummer, who finds her place in the world through music and friendship on a quest for confidence and body positivity.

Feeling active yourself? Grab a ball for free football coaching with Charlton Athletic FC or test your serve in short tennis coaching from Twistfizz, both sessions perfect for budding athletes. If you’re eyeing something a little more whimsical, try AirCraft Circus Skills: hula hoops, juggling, plate spinning, aerial hoop or tight-wire, all under expert guidance.

For those seeking a creative outlet, Sally McKay’s Free Drawing & Clay Modelling invites you to explore boundless imagination through open-ended art sessions. Need a breather? Event Wells’ SensoryCalm™ offers a tranquil, neuroinclusive retreat where you can recharge your senses in a welcoming, supportive environment.

Stroll through the Producers Market by CC Events for tasty street food and unique crafts, then test your luck in our Community Raffle, with proceeds supporting local projects. Pack your picnic, bring your curiosity and join us at Maryon Park for a day of free, family-friendly fun—sunshine guaranteed!

This event is part of Royal Greenwich Festivals.
