Paddington Gardens

Marylebone Summer Fayre

The Marylebone Summer Fayre, organised and funded by the Howard de Walden Estate, has been growing in scope and scale every year, and now attracts more than 25,000 people. The area around the high street is closed off to traffic for the day and stalls selling food and crafts or promoting local institutions take over the streets, creating a bustling marketplace. Paddington Street Gardens hosts an impressive programme of live music, while dancers, fitness trainers and acoustic musicians perform at other locations around the site, often encouraging participation from the gathered revellers. The area’s status as a centre for great food and drink also comes to the foreground, with visitors able to indulge in a vast array of culinary offerings from all over the world.

This year the Estate is adding The Nomad into the mix with a new exciting element to the Fayre, a special fundraiser screening of the Coen brothers’ ‘O Brother, Where Art Thou?’.  With the Festival Bar run by 108 Bar & Grill, food from Ishtar, a selection of hot drinks and cakes from Patisserie Valerie, and music by the Royal Academy of Music, this evening event is shaping up to be a truly collaborative village affair which should not be missed.  It is also a great opportunity to raise money for the Fayre’s charity, Kids Company.

The Howard de Walden Estate and the Community

For many years, the Estate has seen its public events as a means of cementing the sense of community inherent to the area, whilst showcasing the very best that Marylebone has to offer: a rich mix of talents, particularly in the spheres of culture, fashion, food and design.

Please note: this screening is silent with Wi-Fi headsets.
