Taste of festival life comes to Soho

Missed out on Glasto? Just can’t bear the thought of a weekend of camping en masse in order to get your festival fix? Fear not – with the changing of the seasons, Archer Street’s downstairs bar is transformed every six months into a different destination-themed pop-up. This summer’s pop-up is a tribute to festival life.

Recreating Coachella, Glastonbury, Burning Man and Lovebox, all under one roof, Festival will feature an actual stage, private Winnebagos, a backstage area, and a photo booth stacked with quirky props. There will also be a real camping wagon built into the wall with intimate party lounges inside, while the roof will be decorated with multi-coloured bunting and painted as the sky.

Festival-goers will be able to order from a brand new cocktail list, inspired by iconic festivals from around the world. Earlier in the evening, before the music is turned up and the official after-party begins, party-goers can glamp it up while highlights from the hottest festivals of 2015 are beamed out to them on screens.

Archer Street is in one of the more sophisticated pockets of Soho, a spacious and elegant bar set over two floors. Festival will be the perfect place for fashionistas to rock the musical catwalk, as guests are encouraged to dress for a fest with loud prints, beat-up denim, neon wellies and retro ponchos.
