Community Celebration Day

Join us for a relaxing day of celebration, with free food and drink in the Bow Arts Courtyard, a stone’s throw away for the Nunnery Gallery. We will be celebrating the achievements of the Raw Materials project and the hard work of our Community Steering Group that made it all possible. We invite you to join us to find out more about the Raw Materials project, exploring the history of the textiles silk, calico and jute in east London along the River Lea. Families with children are very welcome.
Refreshments will be available throughout the day, with a t-shirt decorating workshop and the chance to hear the historic protest songs from the River Lea’s Jute Mill, recreated by a local group of singers.
FREE – let us know you’re coming through Eventbrite
