Soho Village Fete & Waiters’ Race

20 July @ 12:00 pm - 6:00 pm

Free

Make it this gloriously bonkers blowout – the Soho Village Fête! 🎉

It’s fabulously eccentric,, wildly nostalgic, and packed with enough mayhem to make your nan blush. We’re talking:

🐶 A dog show
🍝 A spaghetti-eating contest
🚒 A tug-of-war between Soho’s finest police and fire crews
💃 Morris dancers
🐌 Snail racing (yes, really)
🎰 The one-and-only Human Fruit Machine

And because this year marks the 50th anniversary, we’re turning back time to Soho, 1975! Slip on your platforms, shake out that flared jumpsuit, and go full glam—there’s a special prize for the best retro look.

But wait, there’s more…

🍾 The iconic Soho Waiters’ Race is back! Watch local legends sprint through the streets with fizz on trays—chaotic, competitive, and 100% Soho.

🎶 Expect live music and entertainment all afternoon:

  • A full-on West End takeover

  • A Rocky Horror singalong with the Prince Charles Cinema

  • A fabulous drag queen finale to close the show 👠✨

🛍️ With 28 food and market stalls, and a bar from Soho staple The French House, there’s no shortage of eats, treats, and tipples.

🎟️ Don’t miss the raffle! Prizes include:
🎹 A Yamaha keyboard
🛏️ A night at Hazlitt’s Hotel
🥂 Champagne tea at L’Escargot
🎷 A year’s membership at Ronnie Scott’s

🌿 The vibe? Pure community joy with a healthy dose of chaos. But space is limited (max 500 people), so get in early.
💳 Soho Society members with VIP wristbands get priority access—membership is just £25/year and comes with access to exclusive events. Join and become a true Soho legend.

📍 Where? St Anne’s Gardens, Wardour Street, Soho, W1D 6QB
🕛 When? Sunday 20th July, 12pm – 6pm
🎉 Cost? Absolutely FREE (thanks to our amazing sponsors!)

💛 Huge thanks to Shaftesbury Capital PLC, Westminster City Council, Great Portland Estates, The Rotary Club of London, and Storm Flowers London for keeping the magic alive.

💥 This is hands-down one of our top 10 events of the year. Bring your mates. Bring your nan. Bring your inner disco diva. You won’t want to miss it. 💥

(P.S. Always check official sites before heading out – stuff can change faster than a drag queen’s lashes in a wind tunnel.)
