Calling all local talent!

Calling all local talent!

As the main host borough for the Olympic and Paralympic Games, we are planning an exciting programme of events to celebrate this momentous year.

Calling all local talent!

From singers and dancers to comedians and choirs, if you have the ability to entertain we want you to be involved in this summer's special events programme. Age is no barrier - every talented resident is welcome to step forward and show what they're made of.

Throughout the 2012 Games we will be operating two live screen sites, located in East Ham's Central Park and Stratford Park. Both sites will be screening live action from the Games but there will also be a main stage where Newham's finest will entertain the gathered masses.
