Two Hackney-based theatre companies are joining forces for the second year running this summer (2018) to host a free carnival-themed drama project for young adults with learning disabilities or autism. 

 

Hackney Shed and Access All Areas are each hosting workshops across the summer, with participants then having a chance to perform at the borough’s carnival in September. 

 

The Hackney Carnival Collective, which is aimed at Hackney-based 16 to 25-year-olds, proved a huge hit last year.
