ALICE BILLINGS CONNECTS

In 2023, Hive Curates worked in partnership with Creative Land Trust to deliver a cultural programme along Stratford High Street to reinvigorate interest in Alice Billing House. This year long programme aimed at making the arts more accessible through events that promote heritage, cultural traditions and well-being.

Hive Curates’s intergenerational programme reached new audiences that would not have otherwise engaged in the arts and offered the chance to reflect the cultural diversity of the communities in Newham and activate spaces surrounding the building through participatory co-designed and family friendly workshops.

The programme fostered partnerships with local organisations and people working across different sectors in the borough including theatre, arts, education, fashion, environmental and youth sectors.

The events ranged from large-scale quarterly heritage events to regular workshops, guided tours, talks and offsite projects. Find out more in the Alice Billing House Blog.

This programme was funded by the Greater London Authority’s High Streets for All Challenge.
