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.

* 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'
