For the seventh year running, Bankside and Borough Market are hosting London’s largest free Bastille Day Festival to celebrate France’s national day with an extravaganza of all things French. The party starts a day early on Sunday 13th July in and around the beautiful surroundings of London’s historic food market, Borough Market.
Food – Foodies and Francophiles will love the French feast at Borough Market serving culinary delights from crepes to comté. There will be free French cookery demonstrations in the Market Hall. Bakers from Bread Ahead are running French bread baking classes so anyone can learn how to make the perfect baguette. Also French menus will be served in restaurants throughout Bankside, including French cuisine at La Cave.
Drink – Don’t miss the French cheese and wine masterclass at Vinopolis, whilst Laithwaite’s will be introducing the wine curious to French wine with tastings throughout the day.
Party – Festivities will continue into the night with the Bal Populaire – a traditional open air party from 7.30-10pm. Vive le France!
Bastille Festival is supported by Better Bankside, Français du Monde and Borough Market.
