Midsummer Eve Event

LIFT’s Midsummer Eve Event

20 - 24 May

LIFT’s Midsummer Eve Event is an all night celebration in Battersea Park on the evening of the longest day to create a little urban magic. Come and enjoy the exquisite Cambodian shadow puppetry by firelight, work with installation artist Anne Bean to write a collaborative light poem on a bamboo frame to illuminate the night landscape. Listen to moods and grooves from Connecting Voices, singers linked to the Guildhall School of Music and Drama. The event ends with the Reverend Nagase of the London Peace Pagoda leading a ceremony to welcome the dawn.
