This weekend the Royal Docks team are running a family weekend festival at Royal Albert Wharf, and all are welcome to join in the fun.
Royal Albert Wharf is one of our leading developments, with 1,856 homes and exciting and innovative commercial spaces. The project celebrates modern design, local history and a buzzing artistic community in the heart of the Royal Docks.
This weekend the Royal Docks Originals family weekender runs for two days, from 11am to 7.30pm on Saturday 30 October and between 11 and 5 on Sunday 31 October. They promise a free explosion of creativity and family fun during the two-day event which could be just the ticket to end half term with a bang.
There will be games, live music, dance, story-telling, art and intriguing creative workshops for all ages. The covered stage will host amazing performances and there will even be a chance to play in a special interactive playground or to take away a balloon-art version of the family pet.
While you are there you can also grab a bite to eat at The Chocolate Factory for scrumptious plant-based food and views, or the Café Spice Namaste pop-up for Indian favourites with a French twist, dreamt up by Mumbai-born chef Cyrus Todiwala.
