'My Roycraft' pop up: Come and Say Hello

Share your ideas for events and activities, food and drink, shopping and sustainability at Barking & Dagenham’s new cultural hub.

Want to help shape the future? Make It London and Urban Symbiotics are hosting a ‘My Roycraft’ pop-up stall to engage with the local community and understand how Roycraft House can best be utilised by the public.

This is your chance to contribute your ideas: does Barking need a cafe, a restaurant, a cocktail bar… or all three? Would you like to come to see live theatre, spoken word, a cinema club or dance the night away to DJ’s? What sustainable infrastructure would you like to have available on your doorstep - A clothes recycling unit, an E-Bike station or maybe a zero waste refill shop? Roycraft House is a blank canvas, and Make It London wants to incorporate your ideas into the design of the building.

On the following dates and times, the team will be located at Barking Market or Station:

Barking Market

  • Monday 27th September 2021 - 7:30am - 4pm
  • Tuesday 28th September 2021 - 9:30am - 4pm

Barking Station

  • Thursday 30th September 2021 - 8:30am - 4pm
  • Friday 1st October 2021 - 1pm - 6pm


Hop into the ‘My Roycraft’ pop-up and interact with the ‘Ideas Wall’ to discuss proposed ideas for the building, as well as providing an opportunity for people to add their own ideas, comments and suggestions. Make It London will be handing out free popcorn and drinks in exchange for your opinions.
