VENUE & TRAVEL

We've moved to ExCeL to give you a better and more accessible experience. Giving you more space to move around, more seating across the 7 stages (previously only 6 stages), more immersive features full to the brim with engaging activities and more product and service solution providers to support you and your organisation's needs. Plus, ExCeL is even easier to access via the Elizabeth Line and two, step-free platforms . The venue has continued to invest in infrastructure and digital excellence, including new, high clarity digital screens and accommodating wayfinding systems, enhancing its overall appeal. The redevelopment by the Dock Edge provides more after-hours options for festival attendees. All good festivals continue late into the night, you can get that same experience here.

In partnership with KERB, ExCeL provides excellent food and drink offerings, providing contemporary, diverse menus from London-based street food traders. Its commitment to sustainability is evident in its zero waste-to-landfill policy, use of efficient LED screens and lighting, and renewable energy sources. This combination of accessibility, innovation, and sustainability, alongside its proven track record of success in hosting major events, make ExCeL London the perfect choice for our event. 

About KERB: KERB is a curated crew of talented traders, serving exciting menus in London’s most iconic spaces, creating a new kind of street food market for our city.
