🏞️🎉 How have people spent time together in Camden from 1965 to 2025?

From local fairs and costume parades to borough‑wide celebrations like the Camden Festival and the 1977 Jubilee, leisure in Camden has always been more than just fun - it’s been a way for communities to connect, express themselves and celebrate their shared identity across generations.

As part of our 60th anniversary celebrations, we’ve curated a digital exhibition exploring six decades of Camden’s story, from leisure and culture to communities, architecture, markets & shopping, and radical histories.

📜What can we learn from the magic, wisdom and humour of poetry?

In this Ethical Matters talk at Conway Hall, poet and writer Dai George asks how poetry can help us to understand justice, dreams or anger.

From the genius of the Ancient Greeks through to the love poetry and metaphysics of the Renaissance, through to the New York poets of the 20th century, this is the ultimate guide to the greatest writers of the human age. ✒️💭

🏛️🖼️ Unearthing the Archive: Camden’s Communities, 1965–2025 🖼️🏛️

Camden’s history is a story of people. From long established working class neighbourhoods to newer migrant communities from across the world, communities have adapted and organised, often in response to social, economic and political change within the borough.

Across the decades, community centres, youth clubs, festivals, mutual aid groups and grassroots organisations have created spaces where people connect, celebrate and organise together. These moments — big and small — reveal how Camden’s communities have continually adapted to social, economic and political change.

As part of our 60th anniversary celebrations, we’ve curated a digital exhibition exploring six decades of Camden’s story, from architecture and culture to communities, leisure, markets & shopping, and radical histories.

Take a step back in time and explore the people, places and community spirit that have helped make Camden the borough it is today.
