Barnet

LFA 2024 Destinations:

Barnet

Barnet is a great, family-friendly place to live, work and study, and is known for being one of London’s largest and greenest boroughs. Barnet has a proud history of diverse communities and cultures living side-by-side and being a place where people feel welcomed and celebrated.

We have a rich network of artists and cultural organisations who have made the borough their home.

Building on the success of the first year of the London Festival of Architecture in Barnet in 2023, we are pleased to welcome the Festival back in June and celebrate its 20th anniversary.

The Festival theme of ‘Reimagine’ resonates with the council’s commitment to make Barnet a cultural destination, championing innovative, creative placemaking and public art.

We want to support and celebrate the borough’s existing and emerging creative talent, strengthen and connect communities and reimagine culture, the arts, and its role in shaping Barnet’s future to encourage a thriving cultural sector.

Supported by the London Borough of Barnet.

“We’re delighted that the borough of Barnet will be a returning destination for the London Festival of Architecture in 2024. The Festival is a great opportunity to showcase our architectural heritage in the borough, which defines our unique character.”

“It’s a chance to work with local people and community groups to amplify the amazing cultural offerings and talent we already have here and attract artists and other cultural contributors to come here.”

“Cultivating culture and arts in our borough is more than just an investment in creativity – it’s an investment in our communities and the local economy.”

 

Cllr Ammar Naqvi, Cabinet Member for Culture, Leisure, Arts and Sports at Barnet Council
