We’re big fans of Camden Inspire, which is now an annual fixture taking over Buck Street on the first weekend of September (details below).

But before all that, there’s a series of talks, exhibitions and panel discussions that are free to attend, like the festival itself.

Summer Series events

• Thursday 17th August sees MUMS SECRETS: THINGS I NEED TO ADMIT, where you can join a group of local mums for a free storytelling and sharing project, connecting with local mothers over shared experiences.
• The following Thursday 24th Aug look out for INSPIRING TALKS: DIVERSITY IN THE PERFORMING ARTS, a discussion about the obstacles – and hopes for the future – for diversity and representation in the creative industries.
• On Saturday 26th there’s a TOUR OF GLOBAL GENERATION’S STORY GARDEN, which offers a chance to get behind the scenes at this inspiring local organisation (and perhaps to volunteer) as they continue to transform vacant urban spaces.
• Then later in September on Thurs 21st come back for Part 2 of MUM SECRETS: THINGS I NEED TO ADMIT, the second workshop in this series, giving participants a chance to share their story on stage surrounded by fellow sharers.
