Guide to British Summer Time Festival (BST) in Hyde Park

British Summer Time Festival was so good. I went to see Celine Dion yesterday at BST in Hyde Park and loved it. It’s been a while since I’ve been to a day festival in London, and I have to say I was impressed.

Celine Dion was incredible. She was everything I wanted her to be with the costumes, the voice, how funny she was – just everything.

Fantastic.

Well worth the money.

And Josh Groban, the main support act, was great too. He got us well in the mood for Celine with his version of Bridge Over Troubled Water to finish his set. The ultimate sing along. 

Of course you’ve missed out on Celine and Josh now, but there are plenty more gigs for 2019.

I’ve seen quite a few questions about BST Hyde Park floating around on social media so I wanted to put together a guide to visiting BST Festival, so you know what to expect.

Food at British Summer Time Festival

There were about 20 different options at BST Festival – burgers, churros, wraps, curries – all sorts.

There were also plenty of options for vegans, loads in fact.

I’d already had lunch before I went in, so with just dinner to have, I went for the Hanoi Kitchen. I had Bun – noodles with pulled pork layered on top. One of my best festival food experiences yet, delicious.

To follow I had a salted caramel brownie, which was pretty special too. Ooo look at that gooey goodness.

You might notice that can of Diet Coke. They were giving that out for free on entry – I had three.

My friends had hot dog, ice cream and one of the Vegan AF burgers. Everyone was satisfied.

We ate before Josh Groban, the main support act, came on, and then went and got brownies just before Celine. This definitely worked well as we managed to avoid all the queues.

It took us about five minutes to get served in the queue, while later the queues looked about 10-20 people deep. Go just before dinner to avoid spending time in the queue.
