‘Meet the Makers’ behind the Bunting Collective project!

We are pleased to be a part of the Bunting Collective project and we love showcasing everyone involved in the making, hosting and the fun!

The Bunting Collective is a community project aimed at bringing vibrancy and colour to the Petticoat Lane Market by hanging community made bunting, using the materials and fabrics from the local fabric shops in the market.

The Aldgate Connect BID, City of London Corporation, and the Borough of Tower Hamlets are proud to present a ‘Meet the Maker’ series. The series is showcasing the makers of the bunting, who are all members of the community with a passion and love for the area!

Meet the Makers here:
