For one month this autumn, Bankside is going to be transformed with art exhibitions, installations and musical performances from both major and emerging international and UK artists. It’s all part of the Merge Festival, the theme for which this year is "Art and Science" – meaning exhibit A, B, C and all the rest will be full of discovery and innovation. With highlights such as a house made from wax bricks which gradually melt, and tap-dancing shoes which can be activated by the public. There’ll even be experimental sounds to supposedly evoke the cells in our bloodstream. Nice. This event is free, but entry is guaranteed. We need your card details to store the event information in your profile, but rest assured, we won't charge you a penny. Festival days run from midday-5.30pm. Music performances are only on the 27th and 28th.
