Canalside Live – Sustainability Session Special

A free afternoon of live music, food and conversation exploring sustainability, local food systems and climate-positive business.Building on Grow’s canalside live music programme, this session brings together live music, informal discussions, supplier tastings and contributions from local partners, including a community veg box scheme at Grow.Spend time by the canal, connect with others and explore practical ideas around sustainability.

Sample local suppliers and enjoy live music from Williams Cumberbatch and special guests to be announced.Why this mattersThis programme strengthens Hackney Wick as a hub for independent, community-led and climate-conscious activity.

Grow Studios is a long-standing, locally rooted space that supports creativity, connection and responsible business.As rising rents continue to push out 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 highlights the network of independent businesses at Grow Studios, from food and drink traders to wellbeing practitioners and local suppliers, building 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 and social.This project is supported with funding from Hackney CouncilPresented by Grow, Hackney.All ages
