Combining music, comedy, art, cinema, magic, The Apple Cart is a diverse festival that welcomes everyone to it's kaleidoscopic, colourful playground, designed to bring out the kid that's hidden in us all. From the people behind Field Day and Underage festivals this festival of ideas adopts a melting pot ethos, presenting London with a multi-disciplinary take on the festival experience: no other event in the capital has Turner prize winners and world class magicians and burlesque stars sit happily alongside arena-filling comedians and established music legends all on the same bill, on the same day.Magic

Sideshow attractions include the 2 hour portrait, the potato print portrait and poem portraits.
