Nissan is bringing a Formula E festival to London's bustling Covent Garden to mark its participation in the ABB FIA Formula E World Championship and the much anticipated season-ending races at London ExCeL. The area will be transformed by the Nissan "Feel Electric Festival" into a Japanese-themed park with a stunning display of cherry blossom trees and exciting events for the general public to enjoy, such as two Japanese Kabuki street plays.
From *10:30am Tuesday 25th until Sunday 30th July, Covent Garden’s East Piazza will open its doors to Nissan’s Feel Electric Festival and its Formula E lab. Step inside for an introduction into the world of Formula E from Nissan’s own race experts. Test your skills on one of the several race car simulators or compete in a head-to-head race using only the power of your brain. There’s also an opportunity to grab a photo with virtual images of both Nissan Formula-E team drivers, Sacha Fenestraz and Norman Nato.
Outside in the stunning Cherry Blossom Garden and alongside one of the incredibly quick Nissan Formula E Gen3 race cars, will be the chance to sample complimentary Sakura (cherry blossom) themed Sushi. This Japanese inspired treat is served to guests in the chill-out zone. Open to the public, these tables can either be booked in advance at https://nissanfeelelectricfestival.co.uk/ or guests can take a chance and just turn up. On Friday and Saturday night from 8.45pm by the Formula E lab and open for all to see will be a spectacular demonstration of a Kabuki street performance, a theatrical form of Japanese music, dance, and mime with intricate and beautiful costumes.
