Discover Hackney this July
Fingers crossed for sun - we’ve got plenty planned for everyone to enjoy; walks, tours, family days, workshops, and lots about Hackney's gardens! Look out for Family Friendly events and bring the kids along with you!
About Us
Discover Hackney is a partnership of ten Hackney based organisations who share common goals around increasing the use and knowledge of the borough's rich heritage and its built environment. We work together on projects which increase learning and a sense of pride about the various strands that make up the rich heritage of our diverse communities. Click here for more information.
Hackney Heritage Young Volunteers
Young volunteers advise the Discover Hackney partners on marketing and publicity, help with administration and gardening, support activities for families and the general public, and lead guided tours. Click here for more information.
It Happened Here
It Happened Here gives young people the chance to take part in telling some of the stories that are part of Hackney's heritage. Groups of young people aged 12-19 work together to research and recreate stories of Hackney's people and buildings, creating site-specific performances inspired by stories from across the Discover Hackney partnership. The Project is led by Hoxton Hall, and involves the Geffrye Museum, the Building Exploratory and other Partners. Click here for more information.
