Some of the acts appearing at the Chiswick Festival

The Chiswick Festival, a major series of events is being planned this month to raise funds for Chiswick House.
Attractions include big names in comedy and music performing outdoors in the Walled Garden to a socially distanced audience. A number of locally-based celebrities will be taking part including Dara O’ Briain and Milly Forrest.
All shows run from 7.30pm to 9.30pm.
There will also be fitness classes including yoga, pilates and HIIT by the Ionic temple and some talks which are promised to be inspirational or, if that’s not for you, there will also be bingo.
The festival is being organised by a group of local people many of whom live a short walk from the park. They were inspired to put the event together at time when the finances of Chiswick House have been thrown into disarray by Covid-19.
