The Modern Cockney Festival takes place every March, bursting with brilliant talks, fresh insights, cutting-edge research, live events, theatre, exhibitions – and the legendary National Pie ’n’ Mash Week. It’s a full-throttle celebration of everything Cockney: traditional roots, modern voices, and the global diaspora.
The 2026 programme is taking shape, and we warmly invite everyone with a passion for Cockney culture and heritage to book tickets by clicking the links below:
We’ve teamed up with brilliant companies, community organisations, writers, and activists – and this year’s line-up is bigger and bolder than ever.
