Unforgettable music, golden sunsets and frozen cocktails.

For three weekends this summer, the grounds of the Old Royal Naval College became the setting for something extraordinary.

Labyrinth on the Thames brought together music, architecture and thousands of people beside the river, with performances from The Kooks, Dom Dolla, Peggy Gou, Overmono, Adriatique, Anjunadeep and Moby.

At the centre of it all, Palmaráe created an oasis inside one of London’s most remarkable spaces.

Inside the Painted Hall

Known as Britain’s Sistine Chapel, the Painted Hall offered a striking home for the Palmaráe VIP bar.

Beneath its painted ceilings, guests stepped away from the scale and energy of the festival into a space designed for a different pace. Palmaráe cocktails were served throughout each weekend, creating a moment to pause before returning to the music outside.

The contrast made the experience particularly memorable. Historic surroundings. Contemporary sound. A Palmaráe serve beneath centuries of art.

The drinks of the summer

Across the festival, Palmaráe was poured inside the VIP bar and at bars throughout the wider site.

Frozen Palmaráe cocktails became one of the defining serves of the partnership, offering something cool and unexpected as the afternoon moved into evening. Alongside them, simple Palmaráe serves allowed the gin’s Moroccan botanicals to remain at the centre of the glass.

Each drink became part of the rhythm of the day, from the first arrivals beneath the afternoon sun to the final performances after dark.

Moments to take away

Inside the Painted Hall, the Palmaráe Polaroid experience gave guests a chance to capture something tangible from the festival.

Each photograph became a small record of the weekend. Friends arriving together. A drink before the next set. A moment beneath one of London’s most recognisable ceilings.

The Palmaráe Passport invited guests to follow the brand and join our community, with the chance to win an Evening in the Oasis. It allowed the experience to continue beyond the festival itself, bringing new people into the world of Palmaráe through a shared moment rather than a simple introduction.

Three weekends of music

Each weekend brought its own energy.

The opening weekend moved from indie anthems with The Kooks to electronic sets from Dom Dolla and Peggy Gou. The second welcomed Overmono, Adriatique and Anjunadeep, while the final weekend ended the series with two last sunsets on the Thames and a closing performance from Moby.

The setting remained constant, but every day felt distinct. The light changed across the river. New crowds arrived. The Painted Hall filled with different conversations.

Palmaráe became part of each of those moments.

A summer to remember

Labyrinth on the Thames showed what can happen when music, place and hospitality come together with purpose.

For Palmaráe, it was an opportunity to meet thousands of people in a setting unlike any other. To serve frozen cocktails beneath the summer sun. To welcome guests into the Painted Hall. To capture memories on Polaroid. And to become part of three weekends that brought Greenwich to life.

Thank you to everyone who visited the Palmaráe bar, shared a drink with us, took home a photograph or joined the Palmaráe Passport.

And thank you to the Labyrinth team and the Old Royal Naval College for creating an unforgettable summer on the Thames.

Three weekends. Two final sunsets. Countless moments in the oasis.
