Watch This Space Festival | National Theatre | July 1 – September 11

Summer. On the South Bank. With Free Stuff. Perfect!

The Watch This Space Festival (featured in our fab guide to free festivals) returns for 2011 outside the National Theatre, and there are a number of diverse themes throughout the run: I’m afraid we’re too late already to catch the ‘I, Culture’ Polish Weekend, but we’re pretty excited to say that right now, it’s Circus Space Week. Ooft, we love a bit of circus. Still to come, Gandini Juggling Week, Dance Week, and the Thames Festival Weekend amongst others.

They say: “Join us in Theatre Square for theatre, fire, circus, juggling, music, dance and street performance… the National Theatre’s free festival of outdoor entertainment is back this summer!”

We say: “There’s something pretty amazing about the South Bank in summer – the atmosphere is amazing, there’s lots to see and do, and the Watch This Space Festival takes centre stage. Forget sitting in a darkened theatre – catch some rays whilst you enjoy jazzy music, off-beat humour, alternative theatre and all the rest.”
