Rediscover Redbridge 

On Thursday 10 April, we hosted ‘Rediscover Redbridge’ at Redbridge Town Hall and surrounding spaces such as the Kenneth More Theatre and SPACE studios.

The event opened the doors for the community to explore the borough’s vibrant creative and cultural scene. From free activities to interactive workshops and brilliant live performances, there was something for all ages to enjoy.

Whether you discovered the local exhibition, got hands-on with some with arts and crafts, joined in on a story-time, or experienced the joy of dance at one at one of our dance workshops, there were plenty of ways to spark curiosity and unleash your creativity.

We had over 1,000 attendees across the day with 8 incredible performances and 15 inspiring creative workshops, plus representation from over 30 local organisations:
