Event: the great outdoors
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.It's the festival that's too big to be contained. From this weekend, the Royal Festival Hall's annual al fresco beano, The Great Outdoors, once again spills out on to the South Bank's walkways and roofs, with artists from around the world providing the latest in theatre, music and dance. Some of this year's more unusual inclusions are two installations using 1950s fridges and the contents of Dijon's rubbish bins respectively, a cinema in the back of a 1959 Peugeot (left), adult babies and a "cannibal" buffet from France, and a band of luminous, hooded drummers from Italy. And as an added treat, London's Articultural Show has moved south of the river to bring its mix of market, theatre, fairground and studio under the festival's umbrella.
Various locations on the South Bank, London SE1 (0171-960 4242) every weekend to 22 Aug
