A Midsummer Night’s Fairy Tale, with Mermaid Chunky

Journey to the magical realm as the British Library becomes the setting for a solstice evening of lush sounds, sights and stories.

With artists, storytellers, DJs, costumes and carnivalesque processions, the night culminates in a live show by the extraordinary Mermaid Chunky and their fabulous friends.

Mermaid Chunky hail from the phantasmagorical land of Stroud and have steadily bewitched more and more villages, towns and cities with their blend of funky and pastoral electronica, playful performances and colourful entourage. They have become renowned for their Sunshine Nightime solstice parties.

Arrive early for some special treats outdoors and in, and to see the British Library’s new Fairy Tales exhibition after hours, included in the ticket price.

Please note this is a standing event, with only limited seating available.

This is a 12+ event. Each under-18 must be accompanied by a responsible adult (1:1 ratio). Every customer may be requested to provide a valid ID upon entry.

In association with Bad Vibrations.
