Exciting programme of cultural events as Wandsworth becomes London Borough of Culture
Briefly

The London Borough of Culture initiative has profoundly enriched the cultural landscape of London, reaching 12 boroughs and engaging over 3 million people. Promoted by Justine Simons, the campaign emphasizes the diverse heritage of London through various artistic events. Battersea Arts Centre will kick off the Welcome to Wandsworth program with 'Strictly Wandsworth,' celebrating community dance. Additionally, projects like 'Sing to Thrive' with 1,000 singers and the inclusive Liberty festival are set for September, showcasing the initiative's commitment to enhancing cultural accessibility and participation for all.
London is not just one story—it's thousands of stories, woven together in this rich, dynamic and diverse capital that we all love. The impact has been profound.
Over 5,000 artistic partners and hundreds of schools have got involved, creating over 25,000 opportunities for young Londoners, showcasing how culture can unleash potential.
The year kicks off with a dance extravaganza, Strictly Wandsworth, featuring dozens of dance groups creating a tapestry of styles under an accomplished choreographer.
In September, the Liberty festival will showcase groundbreaking work by D/deaf, disabled and neurodivergent artists, highlighting the inclusive nature of this cultural initiative.
