Who are the organisers? 

Jointly organised by Wandsworth Council - London Borough of Culture 2025 and The National Lottery Heritage Fund as a funder of the London Borough of Culture 2025 programme.

The National Lottery Heritage Fund: Our vision is for heritage to be valued, cared for and sustained for everyone’s future. We see heritage as broad and inclusive and can be anything from the past that people value and want to pass on to future generations. From the historic and natural environment, to cultural traditions, stories, memories, celebrations and more. See what we fund.

Wandsworth - London Borough of Culture 2025: We have huge ambitions for our year as London Borough of Culture. Wandsworth is changing, and culture will be at the heart of developing a people-led approach to boosting health, happiness and equality of opportunity. Get involved.
