Community Legacy Walks COMING UP…
Don’t be sad that the Olympics and Paralympics are over (or maybe you’re glad it’s over...) Either way come and see what Hackney has to offer, and join our FREE accessible walks from Hackney Museum to Hackney Wick, with a view of the stadium through the leafy pleasantness of Victoria park. We have tall tales and new poems, you can learn about disability and mental health history, see old asylums and hear new Paralympic stories and make new friends along the way!
