The City of London have revived the concept of Bartholomew Fair after a century or more gap. There are various free performances, mostly outside. one you might like to think about is RESUGAM - 31 Aug to 2nd Sept 6:15pm 

 

"Look up in wonder, as one of the world’s most extraordinary vertical dance companies present this breathtaking performance on the iconic façade of Wren’s masterpiece, St Paul’s Cathedral.

An enduring symbol of hope for Londoners for more than 300 years, director Melecio Estrella has taken inspiration from the inscription Resurgam (I shall rise), carved onto the south portico of the cathedral, to create this awe-inspiring performance, which explores what it takes to be optimistic in challenging times. BANDALOOP, is co-produced and co-commissioned by the City Corporation and Greenwich+Docklands International Festival.

The performance of Resurgam is an outdoor show and will take place on the façade of St Paul's Cathedral. The performance can be viewed from the southside of the Cathedral."
