11129667881?profile=RESIZE_584xCome and celebrate 150 years of Ally Pally with a massive FREE Birthday party on Saturday 27 May!

Join us at the South Slope Stage from midday for a fun-filled day of music curated by Global Local before party headliner Mel Blatt from All Saints spins some hip-hop, soul and 90’s RnB in a headline DJ set that’s guaranteed to bring the Ibiza party vibes to Ally Pally. Up on The Terrace catch Hoxton Radio as they broadcast live sets all day from our StrEATlife Stage or dance the day away at our ultimate Silent Disco in the park overlooking the London skyline. Head to the People’s Stage for a celebration of local talent programmed by our very own Young Creatives Network or into the Palace’s West Hall for a Family Rave with party legends Big Fish Little Fish, featuring a special guest set from Bicep’s Matt McBriar.

Step inside the Palace’s beautiful Victorian Theatre to catch film screenings of Matilda the Musical or The Death of Stalin. And if you love theatre, why not join a Guided Tour of this award-winning space, just one of a number of themed tours on offer throughout the day.

If skating’s your thing make your way to the ice rink to cool down with a host of taster demonstrations from synchronised ice dancing to an ice hockey scrimmage, or simply get your skates on as London’s greatest pop party Club de Fromage returns for an unforgettable birthday ice disco!

And it wouldn’t be a proper Ally Pally knees-up without our street food and craft beer festival StrEATlife featuring fan favourites Rack City Ribs, Rum and Buns and The Duck Shed alongside pop-up bars from local legends Goodness Brewery, Cargo House coffees and cocktails from Dash Concept.

Discover all sorts of family-friendly activities, from face painting, arts & crafts and storytelling to drumming, camera and circus workshops and a even a birthday card making station! All that plus performances from Chicken Shed Theatre as well a Makers Market and Farmers Market too!

It will be an amazing, once-in-150-years, opportunity to explore hidden corners of the Palace and the award-winning 196 acre Park. The party will run from 12pm – 9pm. Entry is free with a number of paid-for activities that require booking, see below for more details and to book.
