As Harrow is celebrating 60 years of becoming a London Borough, the HAC has invited its community to share with everyone what Harrow means to them. The result is the 'What Harrow means to you' Exhibition where thirty artists have contributed to illustrating this theme as part of the Diamond Anniversary Programme. Why not come in and have your brain marvel at the beauty of art? The exhibition is open and free to all. Take a look at the different art pieces and the story underlying each.

Happy National Poetry Day 2024! This is a very special National Poetry Day because it marks the 30th Anniversary of National Poetry Day that was created by William Sieghart in 1994 in an effort to promote poetry who said: "There are millions of talented poets out there and it's about time they got some recognition for their work. They shouldn’t be embarrassed about reading their work out aloud. I want people to read poetry on the bus on their way to work, in the street, in school and in the pub."
With that spirit in mind, learn more about what is on today and later this week anywhere within the UK on the website of the Forward Arts Foundation charity that usually coordinates National Poetry Day events at https://forwardartsfoundation.org/national-poetry-day/whats-on/ where you can see that you can join any event from a traditional open-mic to a multilingual poetathon!

The Writers' Forum Workshop is a workshop series for experimental poetry and is free and open to all. Everyone welcome!
