Each year, Alchemy fills Southbank Centre with a vibrant array of performances, workshops and exhibitions – and a delicious food market. The festival celebrates the rich cultural relationship between the UK and the Indian subcontinent, and explores the creative influences generated by our shared history.

Alchemy is a place for artists and audiences to come together. This year the festival turns nine and with a focus on homegrown talent, brings together emerging and legendary performers from across the UK.

Party to electronic bhangra beats with Birmingham club night Shaanti, discover new contemporary dance from the country's leading producer of South Asian dance, Akademi, and fill up at KERB’s street-food market.
