​
Each event will be at a local Waltham Forest venue, and provide an opportunity for the community of creative and cultural people and businesses in and around Blackhorse Lane to meet and form new connections with people from a range of industries across the borough and beyond.

These events will also offer the opportunity for other local community groups to meet the Forge businesses, find things in common, and create new connections.
