CANALSIDE LIVE – SUSTAINABILITY SESSION

A free afternoon of live music, food and conversation. Exploring sustainability, local food systems and climate-positive business.

Building on Grow’s established canalside live music programme, this special session brings together live music, informal discussions, supplier tastings, and contributions from local partners, including a community veg box scheme based at Grow.

We invite you to spend time by the canal, connect with others, and engage with practical ideas around sustainability, sample suppliers and enjoy live music from Williams Cumberbache and special guests who’ll be announced soon.

WHY THIS MATTERS
This programme strengthens Hackney Wick as a hub for independent, community-led and climate-conscious activity. Grow Studios is a long-standing, locally rooted organisation that has helped shape the area’s identity, creating a welcoming space that supports creativity, connection and responsible business.

As rising rents continue to push out original independent businesses, opportunities for affordable, community-focused activity are shrinking. This programme responds by creating open, inclusive ways for people to gather, learn and take part.

It also shines a light on the wider network of independent businesses at Grow Studios, from food and drink traders to wellbeing practitioners, an independent bike shop and local suppliers, strengthening visibility and shared audiences.

Alongside this, the programme supports practical, climate-positive action, from composting and reducing food waste to promoting biodiversity and local food systems, making sustainability accessible, social and relevant.

This project is supported with funding from Hackney Council
