Blackheath Fireworks – a Winter event that all of us who grew up in the Lewisham (and probably all of South East London) area would look forward to, a rite of passage almost. For years it was a night that we all looked forward to until, like a spark fading in the dark, it vanished. But now, six years on, the Heath will blaze back into life once more. Yes, Blackheath Fireworks Festival is back, bigger than ever, on Saturday, 1 November 2025 from 4 pm to 10:30 pm. Lewisham Coun

The 2025 festival season has made a lot of noise. The sun stuck around, the politics spilled onto the stages (and headlines), and the dust made half of us feel like we’d wandered into Dune.A gloriously plentiful choice in line-ups means it really does feel like there’s a festival for everyone - whether you were at a slick, brand-backed weekender or a scrappy DIY field party. This summer didn’t just show us what festivals look like now; it hinted at where they’re headed. Weath

After first discovering 2000Trees in 2022, I’ve been itching to get back to that magical Gloucestershire forest ever since. It’s got one of the friendliest, most welcoming communities on the UK festival circuit - one of the safest, chillest vibes I’ve ever experienced at a music event. This year’s headliners are looking strong: Irish hip-hop disruptors Kneecap, post-hardcore legends Alexisonfire, emo icons Taking Back Sunday, and the ever-epic Coheed and Cambria. It’s a line-

A long-time lover of Wilderness Festival (I first went in 2013, aged just 17 - my first parent-free festival, and probably the less said about that weekend the better), it’s always exciting to see what’s in store for another year in the wild. Wilderness has become a gateway to pure escapism - a place for refreshing lake swims, late-night raves, hot tub philosophising, and long-table feasting, where the engergy is as high as the hemlines and anything feels possible. The headli

Sun’s out, cock…tails out! Ignoring the awful pun, the sun is out in the UK, and it is transporting me to holiday mode, and nothing beats siting in the sun with a gorgeous cocktail in hand. Well now you have another excuse to raise a glass, as today, Tuesday 13 May, is World Cocktail Day. This day marks the anniversary of the first definition of a cocktail back in 1806. Whether you’re a fan of classic concoctions or experimental elixirs, there’s no better place to toast the o

For anyone who grew up in South London, Crystal Palace Park has always been a bit of a favourite. Despite being best known for its Victorian dinosaurs, on this particular Sunday, the scene felt more like a futuristic ritual. Polygon Live, a sensory overload of 360° sound and lights, had turned this leafy bit of South London into a full-blown space-age playground. The first thing that hit us as we approached was an unassuming large big top tent. But there was nothing low key o

Due to popular demand, Cross the Tracks have released their set times early and we are already planning our day! This is a move that we really love as it gives everyone a chance to plan their day ahead, although I have to say there are some clashes that have us pulling our hair out with stress, but that’s a great problem to have and shows just how jam packed of amazing talent this festival is (and a key reason why it is one of our personal faves!) The set times are as follows
