Feeling peckish while you’re at the Festival? There are plenty of food and drink stalls for you to treat yourself, including award-winning jerk chicken from Thamesmead and delightfully cool ice creams to savour in the sun.
We have photographers and filmmakers at events to capture footage to share online and for use in future. If you don’t want to be featured, please wear a ‘No Photography’ sticker, availble from our volunteers.
If you’re a budding photographer yourself, feel free to tag us in your snaps @GDIFestival.
