London’s Biggest Birthday Party takes place in Smithfield. It is one of the largest open spaces in the City, and the party is for all the family...
Why birthday party? It is 150 years since the iconic Smithfield Market building was opened; becoming the most famous meat market in the world. To celebrate, Culture Mile (see below!) has planned two days of Entertainment and Fair. 
There are live performances by choirs and marching bands; food stalls; games and prizes; DJs; tours; pop-up markets; and a communal picnic for the littlest Londoners - and the largest.
It is easily reached from Farringdon, Barbican and St Paul’s Tube stations.

There is live music on the stage on both days!!
This event is part of "Culture Mile", an initiative in the city to build the City as more than just a place to work.
