Spice Festival 2008
Spice Festival 2008 – showcasing the best of Hackney
This year’s Spice Festival is set to be the best yet so make sure you make your way down to the Empire and let us hot up your summer!
The next three weeks will be jam-packed with events: shows of every theatrical possibility, music to get you on your feet, exhibitions to feast your eyes on and comedy to have you rolling in the aisles.
Once again, on Sunday 20 July, Spice on the Square will bring Hackney together in the sunshine with street shows, fashion, arts, crafts, food markets, fun for the kids, indie films screened in the main house and your chance to shine with the All Comers Talent Quest in the Marie Lloyd and on the square itself.
