Line-up, news and updates for Paradise Gardens, 2011


Victoria Park, 18th and 19th June 2011


Paradise Gardens is a two-day festival that, as the name suggests, turns East London’s Victoria Park into a modern-day pleasure garden for a weekend in June.

There’s all manner of fun activities, from circus performers, a tea dance tent, a steam fair, food and craft market, and plenty more.

The line- up is yet to be released but last year saw the following:

* Music on the Paradise Stage from: Jazz at Lincoln Centre Orchestra with
Wynton Marsalis, Jazz Jamaica, Soul Jazz Orchestra, Brute Chorus, Movits

* UK premiere of 'Wishful' a site specific spectacular

* Footsbarn Theatre presents 'Sorry'

* Electro Ballroom with: The Correspondents, Arriba La Cumbia

* Sensational Street Arts including the London premiere of ‘Gloves On’ from
Ragroof Theatre

* Heart N Soul presents ‘The Beautiful Octopus Club’

* T-Mobile’s Big Dance Countdown and new work by ‘Avant Garde’ and
‘Cindy Claes’

This is one of those great East London events that provides fun for local families and trendies alike, and best of all it’s totally free!
