Dacia’s City Escape: Bringing the Outdoors to London

Looking for a reason to step away from the daily grind, slow down, and breathe a little easier? You don’t need to head all the way to the countryside to find your peace this summer.

From 23rd to 24th July 2026, Dacia is bringing the ultimate outdoor-inspired getaway right to the heart of London. Dacia’s City Escape is landing at Bernie Spain Gardens on the South Bank, transforming the urban bustle into a laid-back, adventure-filled oasis.

Even more exciting? The event marks the very first UK public appearance of the highly anticipated, all-new Dacia Striker!

Here is everything you can look forward to at this ultimate summer pop-up.

Unwind, Explore, and Play

Designed to help city dwellers unplug and embrace a slower pace of life, the City Escape is packed with free, family-friendly activities:

  • Relax in the Bell Tents: Grab a fresh coffee, sit back, and unwind inside our cozy bell tents.
  • Virtual Mountain Adventures: Put on a VR headset and transport yourself from the banks of the Thames straight into stunning, serene mountain landscapes.
  • Family Fun & Games: Keep younger explorers entertained with map-reading sessions, lawn games, and treasure hunts.
  • Sandrider RC Racing: Unleash your competitive side on our interactive remote-control racing track. Put your driving skills to the test, the fastest adult and child of the day will both walk away with a prize!

Meet the New Dacia Striker

Freshly revealed to the world, the Dacia Striker is making its exclusive UK public debut at the event.

If you haven't heard the buzz yet, the Striker is Dacia's brand-new electrified C-segment crossover. It perfectly bridges the gap between a sleek estate, a practical hatchback, and a rugged, high-ground-clearance SUV. Starting at under £25,000, it’s packed with clever features (including a massive 600-litre boot) and is powered by advanced, efficient hybrid engines.

This is your first chance to see, sit in, and experience Dacia’s newest family game-changer up close before order books officially open.
