About

Royal Charter to the hidden prison cell of Enfield

An art workshop by Toni Fielding reflecting on the Old Charitable Trust, based in the Old Vestry. From the royal charter to the holding police cell inside, participants will use drawing, collage, paint and quotes to explore what the building is, its purpose and what it means to people now.

This event is part of Enfield Creatives’ Collection.

This co curated Collection has been made possible with support from the Enfield Society and UKSP funding.
