Aldgate in Winter 2021

I’m really excited to be working with the wonderful Aldgate in Winter festival team, where I’ll be collecting stories from participants and visitors to the festival’s events and workshops.
Aldgate in Winter is now in its fifth year and promises to be the best yet! This year’s festival will include creative workshops, the much loved Winter Market and Lantern Parade.
