Orleans House Gallery hosts High Tide Festival activities

We invite you to the High Tide Festival at Orleans House Gallery on Sunday 28 July! This community-led festival aims to rekindle the vibrant spirit of Eel Pie Island’s golden era in the heart of Twickenham. 

The festival gathers a diverse lineup of the great emerging and established bands and musicians across 18 stages. One of the highlights will be at Orleans House Gallery, where a special stage will showcase Brazilian music and Dub influences.

It’s a day filled with music, food, and fun for the whole family!
