About

On Sat 21 Jul the Olympic Torch arrives in Stratford on its marathon journey around the UK. Come along to witness this historic event and enjoy a party in Theatre Square from 12 till 2pm.

Local theatre groups and performers will surprise and entertain you supported by Stratford Circus, Stratford East Picturehouse and Theatre Royal Stratford East.

Bring a picnic and pull up a chair at the Stratford East Picturehouse, grab a free juice and decorate your own cupcake.

Before arriving in Stratford the Olympic Torch will visit the Mayor's Newham Show in Central Park at 11.15am when it will be welcomed onto the main stage by a 180 strong choir made up of young musicians from every Newham school.

And to add to the fun for the very young, Discover Story Centre on Stratford High Street will be open all day with free entry for Newham residents.
