Poplar Works' Birthday

Poplar Works 5th Birthday Celebration will run from 3 pm to 5:30 pm on Wednesday 26 February.

Happy Birthday Poplar Works!

We are so glad to call this space a home for creatives, makers, designers and small businesses within the fashion industry. Our vision was always bigger than just being a physical space, we are also celebrating:
  • How Poplar Works has contributed to the wider regeneration scheme for Aberfeldy Village and Teviot Estate
  • All the ways we have been able to collaborate with and support our local community within Poplar
  • That we have been able to support small innovative businesses that are driving London’s Green Transition and enabling the development of the circular economy within the fashion industry
  • The creation of training and employment pathways to ensure equitable and inclusive access to the fashion industry

3 pm – 5:30pm – Join us for free family-friendly crafting sessions in The Works Café and around the site.
