Jam-packed with activities including chocolate truffle making, Yo! Sushi maki rolling competition, a supermarket herb pesto workshop, you can even carve your own musical instrument out of vegetables with the London Vegetable Orchestra.

Visitors can also sample food and drink from many of the area’s favourite restaurants, cafes and food businesses as they set up stalls along Lower Marsh for the evening.

There will be late-night openings from some of the businesses along the street, and live music from bands including Latin Dimension, Capital Chorus, and Garance Louis.
