🚶🏾 Join us Saturday 20th June for a free guided walk — Bittersweet Walk: Impacts of Sugar with Peter Ashan

This is Event 2 of 7 in our Bittersweet: Legacies of Sugar community programme, and we'd love to see you there.

Local historian Peter Ashan will lead us through Forest Gate, exploring how sugar shaped local history and community life — sharing the stories that sit behind places many of us walk past every day.

Peter has spent over 20 years working in post-16 education, museums, galleries and archives, with a particular focus on uncovering East London's Black histories and the stories of other ethnic minority communities too often missing from the record.

No prior knowledge needed. Come as you are.

📍 Forest Gate Youth Zone, 1 Woodford Rd, London E7 0DH
🗓 Saturday 20 June · 11am–1pm
🎟 Completely free to attend

BITTERSWEET: LEGACIES OF SUGAR

“If there was no demand for sugar, there would be no need for the labour to produce it.”

This exhibition by the Newham African and Caribbean Heritage Reference Group at Cundy Community Centre, on Saturday 6 June, was both insightful and thought-provoking. It offered a powerful reflection on the history, legacy, and human cost connected to sugar production and consumption.
