Robert Levy Foundation @ We Love Hackney

posted by: Administrator

The re-run of the Hackney Carnival probably just about takes No.1 spot, but the annual Robert Levy Foundation event is still set to be a star event in the upcoming WE LOVE HACKNEY weekend.

Featuring singing, poetry, dance, fashion, spoken word and drama, the afternoon will be a showcase for both local talent and featured artists. The event takes place at the Hackney Empire, it's FREE - and starts at 2.00pm on Saturday 17.

In addition, Hackney Community College students will rebuild sections of a car in the Town Hall Square from 10.00am, which will feature onstage at the Empire later during the performances.
