The Embankment is Peterborough’s largest open-air events space, set along the River Nene opposite the city centre. It hosts concerts, festivals, funfairs, and community celebrations throughout the year, as well as offering a scenic green space for walking, picnics, and riverside views.
The wide open lawns, mature trees, and riverside pathways make it a popular gathering point, whether for a summer music festival or a quiet stroll. Its central location and connections to the Key Theatre, Lido, and Cathedral Square make it a key piece of the city’s cultural landscape.
