The Bandstand is located on the northern edge of Southwark Park. It has been one of the key centrepieces of Southwark Park for many years. For much of the time it is simply a beautiful monument that allows shelter from rain and the elements on a bad day. However from time to time, in the summer and major holidays the bandstand is brought to life by a selection of free concerts in the park, crossing the musical spectrum, offering something for everyone.
