This summer a series of exciting pop up outdoor arts moments will bring live performance to Harold Hill, Orchard Village, Rainham and Romford, with local people deciding on a wide range of entertaining events and inclusive workshops happening right on your doorstep in local spaces.

Havering Changing is excited to announce that ‘The Thing About Artists’ book by Brennan & Burch, featuring amazing Havering based creatives has recently been printed, will be promoted at a series of local events and available to read on the Havering Changing website soon. We are proud to have supported the research and development of the book and can’t wait for you to see the inspiring local artists featured.

We want to work with amazing, innovative and community focused artists, community groups, service providers, local businesses and venues to create something truly extraordinary this summer.
