About This Event

Come along to be a part of the conversation! This is your chance to share your thoughts and experiences with the Hackney Archives team and the visionary architects, Ya Ya & Roy. We want to hear from you about:

  • * Your Experiences: Tell us about your past visits to Hackney Archives – what worked well, and what could be even better?
  • * Future Use: How would you like to use the archives in the future? What kind of activities, exhibitions, or resources would you find most valuable?
  • * Visiting: How often do you currently visit the archives, and what might encourage you to come more often?
  • * Understanding the Space: Share your perspectives on the current layout and how you envision changes that would improve your experience and future use.
  • * Hackney Circle Exhibition Feedback: If you experienced the recent Hackney Circle exhibition within the archives, we'd love your feedback on the space itself 

This will be a free-flowing conversation in a relaxed atmosphere. Light refreshments will be available for you to enjoy in the education room. (Please note that due to a new exhibition, food and drink are not permitted in the main exhibition space.)
