Event highlights
We hope you've been enjoying the summer festivals programme in Victoria Park and beyond. Don't forget that we still have one more to go, the London Electronic Dance Festival in Victoria Park on 27th and 28th August.

Keep an eye out for more details on some of our big Autumn programmes, namely Black History Month in October, followed hot on the heels by our annual Season of Bangla Drama.

And finally, the Council’s Youth Arts Team are busy presenting a variety of summer arts courses and workshops all free of charge to 13-19 yr olds who live or study in Tower Hamlets. If you would like to get involved, why not audition for 1001 Nights starting in September.
