Rethinking the future of Haggerston Baths
A participatory public event exploring the recent history of Haggerston Baths and collecting ideas for the future of the building
Sunday 14th June
11:00 - 15:00
Free
Haggerston Baths is an important early 20th-century civic building that closed in 2000 and never reopened. Multiple regeneration plans have come and gone, leaving the building, once the heart of the community, an unused and inaccessible (but still publicly-owned) asset.
This event invites anyone interested in Haggerston and/or historic buildings to share their thoughts about the Baths and ideas for how it could be repurposed. What facilities could a regenerated building provide for the communities of Haggerston and beyond?
An informational display and ideas collection area will be supplemented by tours around the outside of the Baths and other activities.

The base for the event is in the centre for the Vietnamese, Lao & Cambodian communities next door to Haggerston Baths. Boards and/or posters will be placed at the entrance/s to signal this to attendees. Guided tours around the outside of the Baths will happen at intervals during the event but there will always be multiple Hackney Society volunteers present inside throughout.
