Rhythm of Summer

What an incredible summer it has been! Play the Rig brought its upcycled musical playground to festivals and family days across the country, and the response was phenomenal! From the fields of Camp Bestival to the bustling heart of Southbank Centre, we were thrilled to see people of all ages discover the magic of making music together—using recycled materials, creativity, and a little bit of fun!

Here’s a look back at where Play the Rig was this summer:

???? Big Church Festival
We started our summer season at Big Church Festival, bringing a joyful noise to the celebration. Hundreds of participants—young and old—experimented with sounds, rhythms, and melodies in a vibrant, interactive experience that added even more harmony to the festival’s spirit.

???? Godiva Festival
At Godiva Festival, we joined the fun of their “world” theme giving a space for festival-goers to create music and make their own upcycled instruments within this theme.

???? Camp Bestival Dorset & Shropshire
We hit two amazing editions of Camp Bestival, first in Dorset which we had the joy of attending last year, and then Shropshire for our first time! Festival-goers couldn’t resist our hands-on, eco-friendly music installation in this family specific festival.

???? Southbank Centre
The iconic Southbank Centre was the perfect setting for Play the Rig to turn heads and spark creativity. Visitors enjoyed exploring new ways to make music, as we set our up our beautiful Rigs and arts and crafts zone in the atrium of one of London’s most celebrated cultural spaces.

????️ Chrisp Street Market
Bringing Play the Rig to Chrisp Street Market wrapped up our incredible season and was a delightful urban experience! We set up our upcycled musical playground in the middle of the bustling centre, engaging local families, shoppers, and curious onlookers alike, turning an ordinary day into a lively community celebration.
Thank You for Playing the Rig!
