About the event

A guided walk, beginning at the entrance to the Soho Poly. Following a short orientation at the GO TO exhibition in the space, the walk will trace a route created as part of a National Lottery Funded project entitled 'Soho Poly: Inspiring Generations'. It will take in key forgotten spaces from the radical theatre movements of the1970s and 1980s. Led by members of the Soho Poly team, the walk will last between 60 and 90 minutes.

This event is part of Being Human Festival, the UK’s national festival of the humanities, taking place 7–16 November 2024. Led by the School of Advanced Study, University of London, with generous support from Research England, the festival is being held in partnership with the Arts and Humanities Research Council and the British Academy.
