Marylebone Music Festival Opens Today in aid of West London Day Centre

The anticipated Annual Marylebone Music Festival kicks off on 21st June, bringing together some of the world's top artistic talent to celebrate music in aid of the West London Day Centre, which work with over 25s affected by homelessness. The Festival includes 10 events over the four-day period from 21-24 June with finale at the Marylebone Pleasure Gardens including performances from the Queen's Household Cavalry.

This year's audience will be treated to concerts directed by Rick Wakeman, Sue Perkins and Anna Richardson and features artists including Alasdair Beatson. Nicholas Daniel, and Daniel Rowland.

Meghan Cassidy, artistic director, says: “This is the third year we have run this event. It is incredible to bring world class acts together to celebrate music in this beautiful part of London, and for a great cause. Artist directors, Sue Perkins and Patrons HRH Princess Michael of Kent, Rick Wakeman and myself are pleased to confirm that since 2016 we managed to raise over £10 million for the West London Day Centre.

“The annual Marylebone Music Festival has re-invented the pleasure garden for the 21st century, bringing the world's top artistic talent into some of London's loveliest settings. It invites you to re-discover "London's first musical venues": the fantastical Pleasure Gardens. This lost Victorian craze invited revellers to enter a secret garden and be transported from grey streets to green gardens, away from the city's chaotic noise to an illuminated park full of elegant music.”

The festival is organised around a core of artistic inspirations, contemporary appeal and inclusive community

Partners include: The Howard de Walden Estate, Protiviti, Tarisio, and Marylebone Gin.
