Danny Boyle Is Directing a Festival at the Southbank Centre

The Festival of Britain, a showcase of art, science, design and technology, was held in 1951 to boost national morale following the Second World War, and part of the fair included the opening of the Royal Festival Hall on the Southbank. It remains the only permanent cultural building to come from the festival, so, as 2026 marks the 75th anniversary of the event, the Royal Festival Hall and the rest of the Southbank Centre is celebrating with a special programme of events.
