The Hackney Wick Festival meeting in full swing
Fiona from [Space] organised a feedback meeting at the Senior Citizens Club to look back on the Festival and sound out where it should go next and what to consider for the coming years. It was really good to see a lot of people turning up and hearing all the different perspectives. Sadly I had to leave early as it was just getting into the nitty gritty of it all.
Looking forward to see the Hackney Wick Festival in the coming years.
