Hackney WickED art festival

Hackney Wick, East London’s creative hotspot for art and music, opens the doors to its studios and galleries next weekend for this year’s Hackney WickED Art Festival.

Launching on Friday 30 July, the three day festival will be respendent with art, music and pop up events. Hackney WickED will offer festival-goers the chance to explore Hackney Wick’s numerous studios and galleries, which will be showcasing specially curated exhibitions and a plethora of performing artists, photographers, dancers, film-makers, painters, sculptors and musicians – all of which will encourage you to get involved.

In the afternoons, Queen’s Yard will be transformed into a live music stage where a host of bands will be performing up until the 11pm curfew.

On the Sunday, the festival will bring you the fifth annual Hackney Wick Coracle Regatta on the banks of the River Lea, before the evening’s closing ceremony that includes a carnival procession, the Burning of the Wicker Man and a special surprise.
