The Fête of Barking
11 April 2026
A day when Barking to came together as neighbours and families to have fun, share food, stories that matter and ideas to shape Barking.
The event, co-hosted with Mothership, happened at local favourite the Couleur Cafe in the centre of Barking.
Residents were invited to share thoughts…
…make badges, collages and banners together.
