All in one afternoon? Only at Mooch Fest.
Mooch was born from a love of, well, mooching—and from a desire to uplift and platform the amazing talent in London’s queer creative scene. It’s a space for hazy Sunday bodies to relax, catch up with friends, and soak up joy, art, and community.
Mooch Fest, taking over the two main indoor spaces and the garden at Colour Factory, right by the Hackney Wick canals. Expect traders selling kink, slow fashion, jewellery, zines, art, books, kinkwear, and more.
All Sunday states of being are welcome – whether you’re dragging yourself out of bed or ready to dive in. Mooch Fest is a space to take it at your own pace, connect with the community and leave with a little more joy in your step.
