Hackney WickED is to hold a mini-festival at Red Market in Shoreditch on 25 and 26 August during the bank holiday weekend.

As the Olympics moved in, the annual arts festival was obliged to move out of its usual Wick location and switch from a three-day format to a year-long programme of arts events.

The Red Market weekend will include installations, film, performance and debate, as well as sand castles and ice cream.

Organiser Laura May Lewis says: “Hackney WickED remains dedicated to providing a platform for artists to showcase work alongside established and international names. Hackney WickED continues to evolve, adapting to the changing social & built environment whilst remaining a dynamic force for promoting local culture”.

Now in its fifth year, Hackney WickED is designed to provide a platform for artists to showcase work alongside established and international names.

The coronavirus outbreak meant that the Hackney Citizen was unable to print a monthly newspaper for three months.

We're grateful that we have since been able to resume printing. This would not have been possible without the generosity of our readers, whose donations kept the paper from disappearing completely at a distressing time for residents.

A huge thank you to everyone who gave their time and money to support us through the lockdown, and to those who continue to do so as we slowly recover from the dramatic fall in advertising revenues, on top of the existing challenges threatening the future of local journalism.

A one-off donation or a regular contribution from anyone who can afford it will help our small team keep the newspaper in print and the website running in the coming months and years.

Find out how you can donate.

Thank you for your support, and stay safe.
