A Pre-Pandemic Visit to BST Hyde Park
Below are just a couple of our highlights from attending the BST Hyde Park a few years ago and whilst these specific experiences may not be running this year, you can be assured that there will be plenty of events and attractions to suit everyone for a time out in London.
When we visited BST a few years ago, we enjoyed spending some time at the Bulmers Live Colourful arena and playing in the adult ball-pit, then a game of mini-mini golf, which I won BTW! This year some of the planned events include circus skills workshops, yoga, and a chef’s table (which is already making me hungry).
What else was on offer when we visited? Well, there was something that caught my attention, Circus trapeze school! It looked like great fun, and not surprisingly, all the session times were full. For the strategists there was a giant chess board which played host to the Yes2Chess grand final and a Human Chess tournament in conjunction with local schools.
Final Thoughts
There’s a reason why BST Hyde Park has been running for a decade, it really is the biggest music event in London and is located in one of the most iconic places in the whole city. It’s a fantastic event that combines some of best singers and performers in the world with smaller local events with a focus on creating unique experiences for all attendees.
