Welcome to Shoreditch Festival 2008
Happening in Hackney!
From 16 to 24 August 2008, Shoreditch Trust presents a wonderful programme of cultural and physical activities in and around Shoreditch Park as the Shoreditch Festival returns this year with two themes: sports and arts.
We’re also thrilled to be working with Lift, formerly London International Festival of Theatre, to introduce The Lift: an innovative and stunning portable arts venue which will be based in Shoreditch Park throughout the Festival. Shoreditch residents will be entitled to a special rate at all ticketed events in The Lift.
We celebrate our borough with the first Tour de Hackney. Showcasing the best of Hackney in its first ever mass-participation cycling event, residents will have the chance to enjoy the borough’s green spaces and explore the cycle routes from their bicycle saddles.
And we celebrate the moment London takes up the Olympic flag at Hackney Handover happening at the Shoreditch Festival! Sunday, 24 August marks the beginning of London’s journey as the host city for the 2012 Games. Hackney welcomes the Games with events for everyone to enjoy in Hoxton Street and Shoreditch Park.
