Hackney Council has received funding from The National Lottery Heritage Fund and The National Lottery Community Fund to restore and redevelop Abney Park’s historic chapel so that it can be use as a venue. Here, we share the performance spaces as they were before work commenced.

Whilst the recordings in this series are free to watch and listen to, we would really appreciate it if you could make a donation to Abney Park Trust so that we can continue in our role as curators of this beautiful space and continue to put on events in the future for you to enjoy.
