Cultural Co-operation present the World City Music Village Festival Weekend .

Steal away from the sunshine and dance the day away with Cultural Co-operation at its first ever indoor Festival, held in partnership with Wilton's Music Hall, a hidden treasure of a Victorian music venue, tucked away in a historic area of East London. The event is hosted by DJ Ritu.  The stage line-up showcases cosmopolitan London at its creative best, bringing together London-based performers from Bulgaria; Madagascar; Syria; Venezuela… and many more. Their joyful sounds and words testify to the importance of creativity in generating intercultural dialogue, understanding and peace in a World City.

Guests are invited to sign up for as many timed slots as they wish. 

Please let us know if you later decide you are unable to attend so that your tickets can be released to the waitlist.
