There might be some noises since you will have the option to see maker spaces. However, this will be limited and not constant.
The Loop is a physical space located in Hackney Wick that is host to circular economy businesses. The Loop helps circular businesses scale their operations by connecting like-minded peers, helping trial new processes and undertaking R&D activities locally.
Visitors will have access to the warehouse building that is not usually accessible to the public day-to-day. They can connect and visit the studios of some of London’s leaders in the circular economy, learn about the unique community ownership model behind the project, plus engage in an exhibition and workshops. The building will be open 5 to 9pm Thursday 19 September 2024.
In addition, we will also be hosting workshops related to the Loop`s focus on circularity and sustainability. The workshops will allow learning what the circular economy means to our everyday lives and learn about different practices that make up the circular economy. Alongside this, visitors can visit Growing Concerns who are trading in the yard at The Loop. This much-loved East London garden centre has found a new life at The Loop and allows local people to access a wide range of interesting and unusual plants, changing from season to season.
Additionally, visitors can discover other creative and innovative businesses trading at The Loop, including: Are You Mad, Yodomo.co, Zhero - www.zhero.app, Fantasy Fibre Mill , fantasyfibremill.com, Silo and FibreLab - fibrelab.co.uk
