Alternative Village Fete at the Official Jubilee Celebration
Home Live Art was delighted to present a specially commissioned Alternative Village Fete as a part of The Diamond Jubilee Festival in Battersea Park.
The Diamond Jubilee Festival in Battersea Park was a spectacular event, ‘Fit for The Queen’ curated by Clare Patey and Hemmingway Design, celebrating design, music, art, film, fashion and food from the past 60 years and provides an ideal vantage point to watch the 1,000 boat flotilla on the River Thames.
The Alternative Village Fete offered a sideways look at the traditional family day out with a jamboree of artists stalls, craft, dance and performance, where you could: dress up in the Bling Jubilee Court: Queens of the Common-wealth’ by Barby Asante & Harold Offeh, play ‘The Safest Way to Carry the Crown Jewels’ with Tom Marshman, sing the National Anthem with Mrs Brighton aka Victoria Melody and have Tea & Sympathy with Christopher Green aka Ida Barr.……and much, much more….
