This free event welcomes everyone to come and enjoy the mesmerizing display of building Castells, a unique Catalan tradition. While you’re here, shop, eat, drink, and have fun with family and friends. Don’t miss out on this exciting opportunity to experience Catalan culture right here in Bermondsey!
Don’t miss the incredible display of building Castells, a ‘human tower’ performance by Castellers of London, and a chance to have a taste of Catalonia with the Calçots with romesco sauce.
The Catalan Castells (or human towers) dates back more than 200 years, with Castellers of London performing and promoting this tradition in London since 2015.
