Join us at The Blue Market in Bermondsey for the return of the incredible Castellers of London! 21.3.26 / 12-3pm
This free community celebration invites everyone to experience the extraordinary Catalan tradition of building castells — breathtaking human towers that have been part of Catalan culture for over 200 years.
Bring your friends, bring your family, and enjoy a vibrant day of culture, community, shopping, food and hands-on activities right in the heart of Bermondsey.
Witness the Human Towers
Don’t miss the highlight of the day — the awe-inspiring castells. Watch as the Castellers of London construct their remarkable human towers, built through teamwork, trust and precision.
Founded in 2015, the group has proudly promoted this UNESCO-recognised tradition across the capital, with Bermondsey as one of their bases. Their previous displays at The Blue have drawn enthusiastic crowds.
