What's on in North Greenwich

Greater London, England

From farmers' markets to craft fairs that'll actually have something you want to buy — North Greenwich knows how to put on a do. We're talking proper local events here: quiz nights that get genuinely competitive, coffee mornings that serve actual decent coffee (not the instant stuff), and village fêtes that are surprisingly well organised. No stadium concerts or festivals that cost a week's wages, just the good stuff happening in village halls, community centres, and that one pub everyone knows about. We're here to make sure you don't miss any of it.

To Re-Cite: Ayat al-Kursi - Sound, Faith, and Collective Listening

We warmly invite you to a workshop as part of the wider development of our newly co-commissioned project with artist Aliaskar Abarkas, exploring sound, music, and listening through faith and collective experience. The session brings together members of our community with Muslim backgrounds to share ideas, and reflections on how sonic practices – from recitation and prayer to breath, rhythm, and silence – shape spiritual, emotional, and communal life. The starting point of the project is the Quranic verse Ayat al-Kursi, whispered across generations, transmitted as both lullaby and sonic protection. This session is the first in a series of workshops forming part of a longer-term project. Further confirmed sessions will take place on: Sun 26 Apr, Sun 17 May, and Sun 31 May. Aliaskar Abarkas is an Iranian artist based in London. Rooted in alternative and communal art education, his practice stages choreographic encounters that move from individual elements into collective expression. Often in dialogue with historical sources, Abarkas builds collaborative frameworks that invite participants to interpret and activate inherited scores through music, exhibition, and performance-making. He is currently an Associate Artist at Sadler’s Wells / Rose Choreographic School (London, 2024–26) and Lead Artist at Autograph Gallery (Acts of Solidarity, in partnership with All Change, London, 2025–28).

Each week, you will focus on different elements of short story and novel writing including plot, dialogue, character, setting and pacing.
