Summer may have officially ended, but that didn’t put a stop to one more bash of festival fun last weekend at Gunnersbury Park. The fourth edition of Waterworks delivered another unforgettable day of music, continuing its tradition since debuting at the park in 2021. With over 15,000 attendees and seven stages to enjoy, it was the ideal way to soak up the last of September’s sunshine while enjoying one final dance (and fyi, is the only way we’ll be ending our summers from now on)…

Bass reverberates through the ground pulsating into my head as I sit, blissed out, cig in hand, under a glowing red cube – our agreed meeting point. Scanning the crowd in search of my friends, my eyes glaze over a sea of colourful lights and 90’s Kangol hats (mine included, lol) as everyone falls deeper into the collective groove. A man streaks past in a bright blue mankini, holding a huge pair of flippers, he shouts, “It is party time bitchesss!”. Welcome to Houghton Festival…

Seriously though, how the f*ck is it August already?!
