Kingston's Korean harvest festival is back for 2021 with an incredible line-up of free and family-friendly events.

The annual celebration of Korean culture in New Malden - known as London's 'Little Korea' - takes place this Saturday (18 September).

Activities include Songpyeon tastings, Taekwondo demonstrations and K-pop performances as the town where 20,000 Koreans live pays tribute to its East Asian expats.

The festival kicks off at 11.45am with a parade from New Malden high street to St George's square.

From then a variety of events including community dances, folk games and 'New Malden's Got Talent' will take place until 4pm.

No booking is necessary and everyone is welcome to come along.

The festival is put on by the Korean Cultural British Exchange and you can find out more HERE.
