4 stories · discussed at 1 council meeting · 1 council

Haringey Council is progressing its London Borough of Culture 2027 programme, with recent trustee appointments and significant funding secured.

Haringey Council recently appointed two new trustees, Emete Kirton and Marcus Davey, to the Haringey Culture Collective (HCC) board in April 2026. These appointments, approved by Councillor Peray Ahmet, aim to enhance the board's expertise and ensure diverse representation for the London Borough of Culture 2027 programme, which the HCC is tasked with delivering.

In March 2026, Haringey Council officially accepted a £2,165,000 grant from the Greater London Authority and Arts Council England to fund the programme. Councillor Emily Arkell approved the funding, which will support a year-long cultural celebration themed 'Rebel Borough', highlighting Haringey's working-class heritage, history of activism, and diverse communities.

The London Borough of Culture 2027 programme is Haringey Council's initiative to deliver a major cultural event in 2027, focusing on its diverse heritage and the 'Rebel Borough' theme. It aims to expand cultural opportunities and strengthen community engagement across the borough.
