Vesna Fest!

Celebrate Spring - Ukrainian Style

Friday 2 May - Monday 5 May 2025


Vesna Fest! We're bringing the spirit of Ukrainian springtime celebration to the heart of Woolwich Works. Joins us for a unique takeover by contemporary Ukrainian artists, brimming with art, culture and conversation. From dance, to painting, soul-stirring poetry, we've got craft drop-ins for families, and delicious Kyiv Mules for grown-ups.

Ukrainian spring rituals mark new beginnings; revival and hope. We're bringing the spirit of this to Woolwich Works.
