The owners of the Eel Pie Club will host a street party to celebrate its 25 anniversary and Twickenham’s rich music heritage.
The vibrant event is set to take place on August 17 from 12-5pm on Church Street, and will feature five live bands on an open air stage, various DJ sets and market stalls filled with 1960s memorabilia.
Aiming to invoke the spirit of the ’60s, the street party will pay homage to the likes of the Rolling Stones, Eric Clapton and Pink Floyd, all who previously performed at Eel Pie Island.
Eel Pie Club co-owner Gina Way said: “These kind of events are so important for the local community because they bring everyone together.”
A Crowdfunder has been launched to help support the running of the event, making it entirely community-powered.

Twickenham 60s Day is being held in collaboration with Church Street Traders Association and A Taste of Twickenham, two groups which actively promote music events within the area.
The 1960s-orientated lineup consists of The Eel Pie All-Stars and The 60s All-Stars, both of which feature members from iconic bands including The Kinks, The Swinging Blue Jeans and The Foundations.
Attendees will also be able to enjoy a kids’ zone with art activities, Mod Vespas and a walking tour which will explore Church Street’s music and film history.
Way said: “We want to unite different generations, alongside giving the younger crowd a taste of what Twickenham was like during the ’60s.”
Way added all of the activities on the day seek to honour Twickenham’s status as a music and cultural hub.
There will also be an intimate acoustic set at Brewery Market at 5pm and live ’60s music played into the night at The Eel Pie Pub and The Fox.
Entry to the street party is free and tickets can be accessed here.
