The Modern Cockney Festival takes place every March, bursting with brilliant talks, fresh insights, cutting-edge research, live events, 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.
We’re currently shaping the 2026 programme and warmly invite anyone with ideas, events, or a passion for Cockney culture to get involved.
