Call Out: Suburban Legends: Be part of an epic Romford Celebration

As part of Market Town, we’re inviting local groups and individuals to help bring Suburban Legends to life – uncovering, reimagining and animating the myths, memories and half-told stories that shape Romford.

There are three ways to be part of Suburban Legends:

1. Storying a Legend (Generator)
Take part in a free creative workshop exploring Romford’s heritage and hidden histories. Together, we’ll imagine suburban legends – real, forgotten, misremembered or entirely invented. Open to schools, performing arts and community groups who want to shape the stories at the heart of the event.

2. Making a Legend (Maker)
Every legend needs a good outfit! We’re creating over 100 costumes and are looking for volunteer makers, costume designers, fashion and textile artists, prop builders and hands-on creatives to help design and build them.

3. Performing a Legend (Animator)
On Saturday 29 August, the legends step into the town. We’re looking for individuals and groups – including dance companies, theatre groups, choirs, youth organisations, schools and individuals – who would like to be part of the live performance element in Romford town centre. Whether you’re a community group, school, youth organisation, maker or individual, we’d love to hear from you. See below to register your interest!

Get in touch via the Havering London website to be involved in this epic event.
