Come join me this weekend on Saturday 29th and Sunday 30th of July 2023! Feria de Londres have some great activities planned, so don’t miss out. This is your chance to come have a good time and have a authentically Spanish experience.

About the festival 

Feria de Londres, the highly-anticipated Spanish festival, will be back for a second year on the 29th and 30th of July in an all-new venue - Wembley Park in London's booming neighbourhood.

It is the sister festival of the original Feria, which takes place annually in its home town - Seville, Spain. 

The free two-day event in London will transport its guests to Andalusia with its authentic culture and carnival atmosphere. From dancing classes to games for kids, there'll be plenty of activities for everyone to enjoy, not to mention a wonderful selection of Spanish food stalls. 

This year, Feria de Londres will also host special ticketed evening events with performances from musicians and flamenco dancers.

Wembley Park

Wembley Park is situated in North West London, and it is an iconic part of the city. This much-loved area of the capital has many attractions to offer, such as a fascinating stadium, as well as plenty of excellent restaurants and stores.

Wembley Park, located in Northwest London, is a remarkable area that has something for everyone. Most popular for major league football and popular music concerts held at the Wembley stadium. 

Wembley has an array of other activities and attractions, ranging from art galleries and museums to entertainment venues. Children's parks and restaurants of all cuisines for all ages and occasions. Every type of person can find something to do here in Wembley. 

Wembley Park is a major transformation of the area surrounding the National Stadium. t

Transforming it into an exciting new district within London. 

Home to many businesses, shops and places to play and relax, this culturally-important place has cemented its status as a globally recognised destination. Whilst still embodying the true spirit of its beloved local community.

The food

Guests of the festival will be spoilt for choice with a delicious variety of food, including traditional Paellas, Tortilla de Patatas and Pinchos. Tapas delights such as Churros, Jamon Ibérico and Croquetas will also be on offer, as well as refreshments like the iconic Rebujito cocktail from Andalusia and a selection of cold Cerveza Victoria from Malaga.

Getting to Wembley Park and Feria de Londres 

To reach Wembley Park, take the Tube or London bus. Both provide easy access to the park. You can take the Metropolitan or jubilee line on the Tube, and there are a variety of buses that stop here. 

My experience 

I spent most of my time at the Feria events pad site. Which was in my opinion the livelier location of the two. With a large live music stage. Standing tables, plus a few seats closer to the stage. 

Taking place over the last weekend in July it really impressed me. It's a perfect free to attend summer festival for families with kids. 

I attended with my husband and kids. One a teenager. The other aged 5 and we all enjoyed the festival. Thanks to the huge Park directly behind the events stage that kept our 5 year old happy. 

Feria is great for couples and the perfect event for solo attendees too. Everyone is so friendly and it wasn't a rowdy crowd. I would have felt very comfortable attending on my own. 

Feria de Londres is also a pet friendly environment. Upon arrival I joined in a Flamenco dance session with some beautifully dressed Flamenco dancers. Next stop was for some tasty churros with all the sugar. Cinnamon and molten chocolate you could ask for! 

Then we were treated to some live music on the main stage before dinner, which was a chicken paella from casa de pollo. Washed down with some sangria from the bar. Multiple food stalls provided traditional Spanish food options for all diets. With vegan. Vegetarian beef. Pork and sea food choices. 

With live renditions of traditional and popular music hits from different Latin regions. To include Cuba, Brazil and more. 

After a great day out, we bought some beef and potato empanadas to go and headed back home. Feria de Londres was the perfect Spanish send off for my upcoming mini break to Seville!
