    COMMUNITY

    Wilton's is more than just an arts venue and heritage site, it's part of the history of East London and it's really important to us to be a part of this community. Meet our weekly walking group - made up of people who have lived here all their lives, chosen to move here, or love visiting. We also introduce you to David Graham who runs all our Learning and Participation projects full of ways to get involved - from family fun days to workshops and choirs.

    DIVERSITY

    DIVERSITY

    British Music Hall has a long history of queer artists and it's a legacy that we hold dear to us today - from Drag Story Time to pantomime dames. LGBT artists are just one part of our varied programme and commitment to improving diversity in the arts. In this episode we talk to Wilton's associate artist Christopher Green about his latest project based on the life of Fred Barnes, the openly queer music hall star; Jessica Walker discusses discovering Suzy Solidor - singer of lesbian love songs and a self-made business woman in war-time Paris; and our Executive Director Holly Kendrick shares her view on diverse programming.

    Christopher Green's new project based on the life of Fred Barnes comes to Wilton's in 2018, sign up to our mailing list at the bottom of our website to get the announcement first: https://www.wiltons.org.uk/

    From Christopher Green's The Singing Hypnotist to time travelling magical duo Morgan & West, our magical community is going strong, but it goes back a lot further.
