All Points East Festival

All Points East Festival has become one of London's premier music festivals, each year bringing a rock, indie and alternative lineup to the lush grassland of the city's historic Victoria Park, with a wide range of restaurants, pubs, and cultural hotspots covering the surrounding areas, perfect for that pre or post-festival pint.
Butterfly Mini Vogue Ball
📅 When: 20 August

🎟️ Tickets £16.50, book here
Join the members of the Voguing community as they walk the runway, in a catwalk spectacular, competing in categories across fashion, beauty, realness and performance for prizes, in relation to the theme of the butterfly. In its metamorphosis from the common, colourless caterpillar to the exquisite, winged creature of delicate beauty, the butterfly has become a metaphor for transformation, joy and hope. Its dance reflects the need for movement from where we are to our next phase of being.
