More information from organisers:

Bloomsbury Festival is an annual celebration of the area’s creativity, presenting an inspiring programme of culture, arts, science, literature, performance, discussion and debate.

This year’s theme is Breathe. The Festival includes over 100 events across 10 days, ranging from hard-hitting creative reflections on the environment to quiet moments of mindfulness.

There is an exciting mix of contemporary arts, music, performance, theatre, science displays, talks, walks and community events. Many are presented by emerging artists, writers and academics, others by established professionals, and some by the local community.

Bloomsbury is a unique area, known internationally for its garden squares and stately buildings, its universities and its literary connections. But it is also an inner-city area bordered by one of the city’s most polluted roads. There are many local initiatives to improve the environment and our opening Store Street event celebrates Camden Council’s West End Project and the opening of Alfred Place Gardens.
