The Arrivals Free Community Event is part of Light + Flight project Arrivals – Animating the Stories of Grahame Park, a ten-month community heritage project led by Colindale Communities Trust which highlights the story of the Hendon Aerodrome, and the Grahame Park estate which is built on its footprint, as a place of arrivals and journeys. Leaning into the area’s aviation heritage, it animates the diverse journeys of communities coming to the estate.

This programme is developed in partnership with the London Borough of Barnet, Colindale Communities Trust, and Notting Hill Genesis.
