We Need You!

Waltham Forest is bidding to become London’s first Borough of Culture, and we need your support.

Our Borough is brimming with creativity, entrepreneurial spirit and people from all walks of life. 

With a cultural heritage that ranges from William Morris to Alfred Hitchcock, Grayson Perry, Ian Dury and Peter Blake, our status as London’s creative hub has gone from strength to strength.

We want you to back the bid and help us shine a light on a unique borough of London which has culture on every corner.

Help make this happen, and back the bid today.

You can also become a Community Ambassador and help spread the word about the bid: whether that’s volunteering at an event, asking friends and family to support the bid or posting a message of support on social media - how much you do is up to you. To find out more, please email wfculture@walthamforest.gov.uk

Inspired by the UK City and European Capital of Culture Programmes, the competition, launched by the Mayor of London, is an opportunity to celebrate everything that’s great about Waltham Forest and showcase what’s unique about our borough.
