Garage legends Artful Dodger will headline Bermondsey Carnival 2026, with house pioneer Lisa Loud as main support, returning to Southwark Park on Bank Holiday Monday 31 August, 1pm to 9pm. Free entry for all.
Southwark’s oldest community event has grown fast, from 2,700 attendees in 2023 to over 8,000 in 2025, and this year brings its biggest programme yet across two stages.
THE 2026 LINE-UP
The Main Stage bill also features Ten Tonne Ska, Meaka Monroe, Carpet Head, The Ukullective, DJ Noel and compère Phillip, while the BSC x PEEK Tent champions SE16’s own: Rafe, Ted White, Luckless, Sow, Abby T, Jamie Watts and the Sound Source Radio DJs.
Beyond the music, it’s a full family day out: a funfair, kids’ entertainment, Millwall Community Trust football, local traders, independent food vendors, community stalls and much more.
Something for the grandkids and the grandparents.
