Marylebone Village Festival
from Your West End
Marylebone Village returns with the annual summer festival on Saturday 10th June and Sunday 11th June. Boasting an outstanding weekend line-up featuring pop up outdoor film screenings, live music performances, a dog show, alfresco bars, food and gift stalls, shopping, alfresco dining and more, the event promises to be bigger than ever.
On Saturday 10th June, Paddington Street Gardens will host a spectacular open-air cinema which will be showing two films for the first time ever, to be enjoyed in the day or under the stars at night; a family friendly screening of Disney’s Encanto (U) at 1:30pm and blockbuster hit Elvis (12A) at 8pm. All profits from the cinema tickets will go to the London-based Greenhouse Sports charity who use sport to engage young people and help them reach their full potential.
Elsewhere, in the tranquil surroundings of the open gardens, there will be pre-film activities to enjoy including free table tennis, live music, food stalls and a festival pop-up bar in partnership with 108 Brasserie. The bar will serve a range of quality drinks and a special themed cocktail named ‘Hound Dog’ for VIP cinema ticket holders to raise a glass to the King of Rock & Roll. The aromatic cocktail will consist of Jack Daniels (dedicated to Elvis’s teenage years in Tennessee), Campari with sweet peach notes (emulating peach brandy that was a favourite of Elvis’s later in life) and garnished with grapefruit and mint for the perfect summer drink. Pick up a bite to eat from a range of food vendors, including The Coach Makers Arms serving pub classics like Fish and Chips, and crepes to satisfy sweet treat cravings.
Ticket holders are recommended to arrive 30 minutes before to have plenty of time to pick up refreshments and settle into the comfort of the deckchairs provided.
