Four days of music, fitness, and family fun are set to return this summer.

The All Points East 'In The Neighbourhood' programme will take place in Victoria Park, Tower Hamlets, from August 24 to August 27, offering a packed schedule of free activities for all ages.

Visitors can look forward to live music, theatre, sports, fitness classes, and a range of interactive workshops and performances.

Cllr Minara Khatun, cabinet member for leisure, culture and tourism at Tower Hamlets Council, said: "We’re delighted to welcome In the Neighbourhood back to our award-winning Victoria Park this summer.

"This free festival is a fantastic opportunity for residents and visitors to come together, soak up the sunshine, and experience the incredible diversity, creativity and community spirit highlighted by the Love Tower Hamlets campaign.

"With something for everyone, it’s the perfect day out for families, friends, and fun-loving people of all ages. Join us as thousands come together to celebrate the energy, culture, and community spirit that make our borough one of the most vibrant in the UK."

The event, organised in collaboration with Tower Hamlets Council, will run between the two All Points East festival weekends. Entry is free and all activities are open to the public.

This year’s line-up includes performances from Trojan Sound System, DJ Yoda’s 90s Mixtape Live, the Rich Mix Stage Takeover, Cafe 1001 Stage Takeover, DJ Kizzi (BBC Asian Network), and the Grand Union Orchestra.

Fitness fans can take part in sessions from House of Voga, which blends yoga, vogue, fitness, and fashion. Other classes include Move Studio London, Our Parks fitness, Be Well leisure services by Tower Hamlets Council, OpenMat Pilates, and Jess Owen Yoga.

Sports sessions will be led by the West Ham FC Foundation, along with Limehouse Boxing and Tower Hamlets Hockey.

Family theatre shows will be hosted by Half Moon Theatre. For younger guests and families, Big Draw workshops will encourage creativity through visual arts, while Orchestra of Objects and School of Noise will offer music-inspired activities.

There will also be free cinema screenings and cultural performances from Mukul & The Ghetto Tiger, Tamarind Theatre, Queen of Sheba Somali Poetry & Dance, and the Community of Vietnam.

Workshops and sessions will be available for new and expectant parents, with Baby Sensory Hackney delivering bubbles, lights, and music for young children.

Doors will open at noon on Monday, and at 10am for the remainder of the week.
