Field Day at Victoria Park

Field Day is an outdoor music festival which takes place in Victoria Park in the London Borough of Tower Hamlets, with its unique formula of pioneering line up coupled with village fete mentality. The two-day event has become synonymous with imaginative and progressive bills.

The festival hosts an annual village fete, titled Village Mentality. Beginning in 2008, the area includes a sack race, tug of war and egg and spoon race. In 2008, the events took place until 5pm, finishing earlier than the rest of the festival. In 2009, the area was extended to include its own musical line-up, playing on the Village Mentality Stage. Acts included Mumford & Sons, Toumani Diabaté and Malcolm Middleton. The area is handled by organiser Tom Baker’s girlfriend Natalie. Village Mentality was formerly known as Homefires,who hosted their own London festival until 2007.
