London Bridge Live Arts 2015
This weekend hold the final dates of London Bridge Live Arts 2015, an annual event activating public spaces and engaging audiences in playful and surprising ways.
Running a range of activities from talks and workshops to a walking tour / play combination. This weekend is the last chance to see ‘I Believe in You’ a technological installation from leading Urban Play artist, Tine Bech. A mystifying installation, that’s digitally enhanced by combining new technology and RGB LED lighting. It encourages participants to control what colours shine over the Thames by moving throughout the space and utilising social media.
See the luminous installation on the pagoda on the London Bridge City Pier
Closes on the 30th

With freshly baked cakes, Arts and Crafts, vegan savoury delights (throw back to #ivjfd15), and live music throughout the day in the courtyard what else could you want?
Filled to the brim with community spirit they will mark the end of the day with a Buddhist Ritual, a Full Moon Puja. And all the funds raised go towards Vajrasana, their newly re-built retreat centre.
