During Summer on Fridays, General Gordon Square will be festooned with colour, free lively entertainment and activities for children

About

Every Friday this Summer, head down to General Gordon Square for some exciting dance fun!

Created by NOCTURN and Spin Arts, The RIDDLE is a fun, online outdoor experience where your phone is part of the problem – and the solution! Focused on a current societal concern (our consumption of digital technology), participants are tasked to help the central character ‘Pæn’, re-engage with the wonders of the outdoors by hunting down QR codes, solving riddles, making and sharing their own dance moves. Finding all six QR codes will unlock a new riddle. Solving them all unravels the whole mystery! This is an experience that will stretch your mind and your body.

On 29th July, 12th August and 26th August, you can also take part in Anatomical’s audio adventure MidSummerland! Plug in your headphones and grab your partner before setting off on a magical journey through the festival. Take the Noodle Pathway past the Cannonball Hedgehogs, through the Thoughtful Field and into the mysterious tent where your fortune will be told. Make sure to save enough energy for the grand finale – the annual trifle dance!

Holiday Fun Fridays are free to attend and you don’t need to book in advance.

* Holiday Fun Fridays are funded by The Royal Borough of Greenwich in partnership with CC Events UK and are a part of Royal Greenwich Festivals.
