The Square Mile will be transformed into an open air festival as part of the city’s bid to become a cultural destination to rival the south bank.

More than 100 performers will take to the streets on Saturday October 15 while visitors will be able to take part in a mass treasure hunt and enjoy fairgrounds set up in locations including Guildhall and the Museum of London.
