Kilburn High Road Project

From January 2024 – December 2026, Kiln Theatre, in partnership with local communities, artists and organisations will be delivering Celebrating Our Stories: The Kilburn High Road Project 

Over three years and through co-creation, we will uncover and showcase the tangible and intangible heritage of people who live and have lived near Kilburn High Road. 

Local residents are invited to participate in heritage-inspired activities that will amplify the voices of the communities who call Kilburn home. The project will bring local people together to celebrate Kilburn, its communities and cultures. 

Throughout the project, Kiln will work in partnership with local residents, organisations and community groups to platform stories through theatre, music, movement, poetry, visual art, costume, film and photography. During the project, activity will take place across Kilburn; making use of green spaces, unoccupied spaces, collaborating with businesses and organisations, encouraging connection, cultural exchange and a sense of pride along the High Road.  

The project will culminate in events and performances along Kilburn High Road in summer of 2026 and a celebratory exhibition at Brent Museum and Archives in December 2026.
