SEND US YOUR STORIES OF KILBURN
Kiln Theatre are looking for stories from all corners of Kilburn, from people of all ages and experiences. Stories should be yours, located in a time or a place in Kilburn, and speak to the breadth of Kilburn’s people and histories.

Maybe your story is about your experience of arriving in Kilburn, an unforgettable night out at The Good Ship, the first time you visited the Granville, or noticing the passing of seasons and generations of Kilburn from the number 8 bus route. Stories could be funny, poignant, heartfelt or unexpected.

All stories will be displayed in a public art exhibition at Kiln Theatre, a few stories will be brought to life and performed as part of the Kilburn High Road Project in Summer 2026.
