The Garden Journal

Join the Hoxton Trust @hoxtonstmarket @the_bop_hub @gracechurchhackney for a wonderful Wintergarden fest this December. The amazing Angenita Blackwood sings Christmas songs and carols in the community garden. Children’s activities and stalls. Make sustainable decorations, wreaths and christingles. Help us decorate our tree and enjoy some lovely mulled wine and food. Lots of lovely goodies along the market so come and grab a last minute gift or just soak up the atmosphere of Hackney’s oldest outdoor market. 🍷🎄

A great workshop at the Hoxton Hall - Hurry spaces are going fast!

We are running a creative workshop programme, Finding Our (Creative) Voice, in November in partnership with Kakilang, an NPO that produces and presents world-class interdisciplinary art from a wide spectrum of Southeast and East Asian voices.

It is designed for all community members who are interested in storytelling through creative means but have little to no arts experience. We thought it may be of interest to your network! When Kakilang delivered it last year, they received feedback from the participants that they thoroughly enjoyed having an accessible, supportive and welcoming space to express themselves and connect with one another.

Participants will join 4 workshop sessions at Hoxton Hall and engage in various creative exercises led by experienced writer, performer, filmmaker and Associate Artistic Director at Kakilang Daniel York Loh and experienced multi-form artist Bettina Fung. There will be a final (optional) sharing session for participants to present their work to family and friends in the beautiful main hall at Hoxton Hall.

Registration of interest is open now until next Wed 25th Oct via this form:

Stephen pruning the grapevine today. It wasn’t a great year for our grapes. There’s always next year….meanwhile I’ve been collecting seeds from many of the successful vines around to see if we can start some from seed.
