Summer is on its way, and that means one thing… The Kilburn High Road Festival ☀️

Kicking off our festival programme spotlight is Passages. Through a public callout, targeted workshops, and collaborations with local organisations, we gathered 95 stories of Kilburn. From these stories, three themes were selected, with each one being adapted by a professional playwright into a performance piece.

These performances take the form of an audio tour, a promenade piece along Kilburn High Road, and a performance in a café, as well as an exhibition of all the submitted stories - 95 stories from 95 voices, come and get lost in them.

Stay on the lookout as we release the festival programme over the coming weeks 👀

And if that weren't exciting enough, stay tuned for our ticketing on sale announcement later this month 🎟️

The Kilburn High Road Festival is part of Celebrating Our Stories: The Kilburn High Road Project, a three year heritage project made possible with The National Lottery heritage Fund, with thanks to National Lottery Players.

Joanna Murray-Smith’s gripping, contemporary thriller makes it UK debut following an acclaimed Australian premiere and asks is it better to remember or to forget?
