This winter, Bankside is celebrating one of the most extraordinary events in London’s history – the Frost Fair. From circa 1605 to 1814, the surface of the River Thames froze over 24 times, bringing all trade on the water to a standstill. So the people of Bankside took to the ice, creating ‘Frost Fairs’, with a sensational cornucopia of markets, amusement, food, drink, games, pubs, shops, entertainment and general revelry!

Inspired by the area’s rich heritage and lively characters, Bankside has reinvented the Frost Fair for the 21st century. Immerse yourself in innovative augmented reality installations, follow our street art trails, feast on special Frost Fair themed food and drink and enjoy inspired workshops.

1^st December 2022 – 31^st January 2023 Bankside will turn into a feast of art, food, drink and events.

Julia Fullerton Batten’s short film ‘1814 Frost fair’ will be shown every 15 minutes throughout the campaign (60 days) on Uber boats Thames Clipper and my images will be projected on large screens on the side of buildings.
