Pop up F.E.S.T’s: Fix, Eat, Swap, Talk
During Summer 2023, we held a number of pop-up Sharing Space F.E.S.T’s (Fix, Eat, Swap, Talk events) at estates across Camden where we were joined by hundreds of residents. We all had so much fun with activities ranging from quizzes, to visioning, to bike fixing from Camden Cyclists, a clothes swap, electronic fixing from the Fixing Factory, plus involvement from lots of council departments. A big thanks to everyone who joined in.
The Fix, Eat, Swap elements encapsulate the magic of a Sharing Space for a few hours. For the Talk element we invited different council departments to join us to provide an opportunity for residents to discuss challenges and visions for the estate.
Summer FESTS included:
– Ampthill Estate on Wednesday 26th July – 3pm -7pm
– Templar House Estate on Saturday 19th August – 11am-3pm
– Abbey green – Saturday 9th September 1-5pm
