The Common x Refugee Community Kitchen Takeover
Its the Glastonbury (fallow year) reunion you never knew you needed…
For one day only, The Common from Glastonbury Festival’s infamous ‘naughty corner’ lands in London for a rare all-day special – with 100% profits from ticket sales going to Refugee Community Kitchen (RCK).
The best of Worthy Farm taking over London’s favourite music hotspot – with live music, DJ’s, talks and film across the outdoor courtyard stage, train carriage and indoor stage. This will be one to remember.
The Common is arguably one of Glastonbury’s favourite destination areas.
Home to the legendary Temple, Rum Shack and Mez Yard, The Common has become one of the most iconic all-night parties at the world’s greatest festival; scene of landmark shows from Fred again.., Mike Skinner, Kae Tempest, Akala, Greentea Peng, Queer House Party, Fatboy Slim, Seth Troxler, DJ EZ, Sammy Virji and Kurupt FM. The Common is steeped in history of reclaiming space that celebrates spiritual connection through dance, ritual, knowledge and basslines.
This is not just another fundraiser. Refugee Community Kitchen is family to The Common (both co-founded by Steve Bedlam, alongside RCK’s Sam, Janie and Paula). Since 2015 RCK has served more than 3.5 million hot, nutritious meals without judgment to displaced people, refugees and people experiencing food poverty in the UK and Northern France.
- £5 provides 70 portions of rice
- £10 provides 20 nutritious meals
- £1000 provides 2000 warm nutritional meals
100% of profit from ticket sales go to Refugee Community Kitchen
