Woodward Library the future Community Arts & Culture Centre

Barking and Dagenham Council has been awarded a capital grant from Arts Council England to redevelop the old library on Woodward Road, Becontree Estate into a new community arts and culture centre. It will build on the legacy of the Arts and Culture Hub at Valence Library, which was a base for Becontree Forever and Becontree Broadcasting Station through the centenary.

Local residents are being invited to join a series of FREE Woodward Field Trips to amazing creative community spaces across the borough and London. These spaces will inspire and help to build a vision for the new Woodward Arts & Culture Centre.

They are also seeking residents interested in participating in the project who live or work on Woodward Road, Gale Street or near Becontree Station in the RM9 postcode. If you have stories of the surrounding community, or would like to have a photographic portrait taken, Woodward Arts & Culture Centre would like to hear from you- please express your interest here

The first field trip will be to the incredible community centre Old Manor Park Library in Manor Park on Sunday 12th February, 1-4pm.
