Blackhorse Creates celebrates the joy of making in and around Blackhorse Lane, Waltham Forest, inviting visitors to discover, learn and interact with its vibrant design community.
Blackhorse Creates presents an open weekend of design, craft and making in their corner of London. From 18-19 September, makers and creatives are opening their doors to offer rare, behind-the-scenes opportunities for visitors to meet designers, discover processes and try their hand at making. The district is centred around the thriving Blackhorse Lane area, designated a Creative Enterprise Zone in 2021, formally launched as the Blackhorse Collective in 2023 and now a dynamic cluster of creative businesses. Blackhorse Creates is programmed by Blackhorse Workshop, a social enterprise dedicated to making, in partnership with Waltham Forest Council. The community-led programme for 2026 is centred around the design and manufacturing excellence of the Blackhorse Collective Zone with this year focusing on Youth Opportunity.
