Topshop’s alternative festival

Topshop Festival: London's answer to Glastonbury and V Festival.

For those who didn’t manage to get Glasto or V Festival tickets (me) Topshop has the answer with its alternative Bandstand Picnic.

With a red hot line-up next Saturday including Chew Lips, Stricken City, and sets from New Young Pony Club and sports day activities, Bandstand Picnic’s could become the festival of the future. What’s more proceeds from the event go towards the Teenage Cancer Trust.

It might not be a weekend camping in Somerset listening to legends Stevie Wonder, the Pet Shop Boys and Fatboy Slim but Topshop’s Bandstand Picnic at Regents Park, London comes close with roller skates on hire, delicious cupcakes on sale and a hog roast. Tickets are £10 each with 500 available.

Tickets are purchased from Topshop Oxford Circus.

Topshop’s Bandstand Picnic is also taking place in Bristol, Liverpool and Birmingham in June.

I am an aspiring fashionista who currently works on a weekly B2B magazine. I have also written a beauty article on how to get perfect skin, write my own weekly blog and have interned at Sky Magazine. After leaving university with a degree in media I worked at a post production company (TV) and several fashion houses before doing a diploma in Magazine Journalism and turning my hand to writing. I work in London and live just outside the city, but in the near future am hoping to move a bit closer to the Capital. I'm mostly likely to be found glued to the internet, laden with shopping bags or cleaning out my wardrobe to make room extra room for the contents of the shopping bags. I love London and New York and secretly aspire to be Sex and the City's Carrie Bradshaw, living in NYC, writing my own column and able to buy as many designer shoes and dresses as I desire. I enjoy shopping, art, travel, chocolate and film. My blog will cover fashion, art, design, film and exciting events taking place across the Capital.
