Hackney Circle is a membership community for older residents interested in creative and cultural events, discounts and activities.

Being part of Hackney Circle is completely free. We work with our cultural partners in the borough to promote their free events and activities. It is an exciting and wide variety of activities!

We also distribute special discounted tickets and offers and run our own events with our partners, supporting members in meeting one another and having a good time. Start receiving our regular updates by becoming a member, and we look forward to seeing you at the next one.

To access more information, please visit the dedicated Hackney Circle website.
