CREATE is a new arts festival in 'Europe's largest cultural quarter ' - east London. The festival is a chunky 32 days starting on 24 June - 25 July. The festival presents over 200 homemade, world-class events profiling east London creativity taking place in surprising spaces: from a temporary cinema in a disused motorway undercroft in Hackney Wick; across London’s historic music halls; a 1980’s building in Canary Wharf; a WWII bunker in Dalston; a floating cinema on the waterways of east London; a shop turned into a farm and much more. Spanning music, design, art, food and film, the 32-day programme includes outdoor screenings, nocturnal walks, rooftop farming, underground readings, craft workshops, secret parties and hidden dining, as well as live music and cutting-edge art exhibitions and talks.

Key things to look out for:
From Friday 24 June, a temporary building and winner of the festival's CREATE Art Award this year is called Folly for a Flyover and will appear in the gap between the east and westbound traffic of the A12, and transform the cavernous undercroft where the motorway bridges the Lea navigation canal. By day there be a local food café and drop-in workshops, along with cycle-powered boats, available for hire to explore the waterways along the edge of the Olympic park. At night the building’s oversized outdoor staircase will seat audiences of up to 250 for screenings of classic animation, short films and early cinema, accompanied by a live score.

Over in Canary Wharf London’s most exciting pop-up restaurants and interactive art installations will appear for just five weeks in CREATE House. Four of the very best restaurants - The Clove Club, A Bit More of What You Fancy, the spin-off of Dalston restaurant A Little Of What You Fancy, Bistrotque and more.

The CREATE11 Talks and Walks include an array of activities and events exploring public art, spoken word, food and sustainable farming, health, fashion and craft.
