Heart n Soul’s Let It Be Awesome Party!
Come along for summer vibes and a big mix-up from Heart n Soul, with DJs, dancing and eclectic live music, free throughout the afternoon and evening.
You can also chill and play with sensory things made by our Feel Good Designers, enjoy some experimental live drawing – and of course, wish Heart n Soul a happy birthday as they turn 40, in the same year the Southbank Centre marks its 75th anniversary.
Expect banging tunes, dancing of many kinds, creativity and joyful people at this special edition of our Riverside Sessions.
Heart n Soul is an award-winning creative community and arts charity that believes in the power and talents of people with learning disabilities and autistic people. They work together to make great art with imagination, love and trust.
At Heart n Soul everyone is valued, and leadership is shared. They can be themselves, make change happen and have fun! Their vision is of a more open, creative and equal world.
The Southbank Centre’s Riverside Sessions mark our 75th birthday with events curated by young people, for everyone. Whether you’re 15 or 75, come along to connect with the energy, complexity and joy of youth.
