There’s something special about summer in Vauxhall. Long evenings in the park, good tunes drifting through the trees, and the buzz of people coming together for fun. This year, three much-loved events are making their return to Vauxhall Pleasure Gardens – and whether you’re a movie lover, a karaoke queen, or on the hunt for some top-tier family fun, we’ve got something for you.

So, pack a picnic, rally your crew, and come make the most of summer with us.

Vauxhall Summer Screen

Tuesdays in July, from 6pm
FREE | Vauxhall Pleasure Gardens

Outdoor cinema season is back! For 12 years, Vauxhall Summer Screens has been a midweek favourite – and it’s easy to see why. Big films, great food and drink, and that unbeatable golden-hour glow. This year’s line-up is packed with sing-alongs, feel-goods, and absolute classics.

What’s showing:

📽 8 July – Aladdin (2019)
A whole new world under the stars – sing along with Will Smith and Naomi Scott.

📽 15 July – Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle
Big laughs, big action, and one epic jungle adventure.

📽 22 July – Mean Girls
Get your pink on and quote along – it’s a high school classic for a reason.

📽 29 July – Sister Act II: Back in the Habit
A feel-good finale starring Whoopi Goldberg and Lauryn Hill. Trust us: you’ll leave singing.

Gates open at 6pm, films roll at 7pm. Bring a blanket, grab some street food, and settle in for a perfect evening.

Bearpit Karaoke

One Saturday a month: 14 June, 12 July, 9 August, 13 September
4pm – 8pm | New Spring Gardens Walk
FREE – registration required

Yes, it’s back – and if you know, you know. Bearpit Karaoke is a Vauxhall institution. Whether you’re a shower singer or a full-blown diva, this is your moment to grab the mic and let loose.

Hosted by the one-and-only Joe Hatchiban, this outdoor sing-fest is all about good vibes, unexpected moments, and pure summer joy. Come for the karaoke, stay for the community – and maybe a cheeky can from Mother Kelly’s while you’re at it.

Victorian Vauxhall

6 & 20 August, 4pm – 6pm
FREE | Vauxhall Pleasure Gardens

Vauxhall has history – and we’re celebrating it in the most fun way possible. Victorian Vauxhall is back with two afternoons of free family activities, inspired by legendary performers who once wowed the Pleasure Gardens crowds.

🎶 6 August – Tap Into the Rhythm
We’re dancing in the footsteps of tap legend William Henry Lane (aka Master Juba). Expect a live performance and dance workshop led by the brilliant Neon Performing Arts.

🎪 20 August – Circus Shenanigans
A tribute to the queen of the circus and tightrope superstar Madame Saqui. Try your hand at circus skills – juggling, plate spinning, flower sticks and more. Who knows, you might discover a hidden talent…

All activities are drop-in, all ages are welcome, and yes, there will be candyfloss.

See you in the Vauxhall Pleasure Gardens

There’s no need to book a holiday when summer in Vauxhall brings it all: outdoor films, singing under the sky, and creative fun for the whole family. Bring your mates, your little ones, or just your best summer self. We’ll be there.
