Help Save Boxpark Shoreditch, a cornerstone of Shoreditch’s vibrant community. Boxpark Shoreditch is facing an uncertain future. As a valued member of the hospitality, night-time economy, and events community, your voice is crucial in preserving this beloved venue and the future of their independent retailers. By completing this form, you are joining the fight to safeguard Boxpark Shoreditch and its essential role in our community. Michael Kill, CEO of the Night Time Industries Association, has spoken out on this pressing issue: “Boxpark Shoreditch exemplifies the exact issue faced across the country with red tape and restrictive regulatory controls stalling business investment. This has to stop. People are fed up. The new Government has made an amazing start, and I call on them to reach into the local authority and invigorate the local planning department and Hackney Council to find a solution.” Nadia Jae (TV & Radio Presenter) from the ARIA Winning BBC 1Xtra Breakfast Show shared her thoughts: “Boxpark Shoreditch has been a second home for me. I’ve had days out, nights partying and it’s always a safe and enjoyable experience. As a DJ it’s home to my NJ & Friends terrace party where I’ve had nights I will never forget. I’ve partied with my family, celebrated my birthday, made new friends and even have the bar staff singing along to music because we have such a good time. Sundays I’ve brought my nieces and nephews to day parties at Boxpark, it’s always a safe and fun environment and is the heartbeat to Shoreditch. I can’t imagine life without it. Night life as a DJ in London is already concerning with so many venues closing down, but not only does Boxpark provide nightlife it does something that no other venue does. It provides a daytime experience of food, vibes and cultural events such as football for all to come along and enjoy. This campaign is important for highlighting what a huge hole will be left if Boxpark Shoreditch was to close. Truly there is no other place like it.” This is on behalf of the 50+ businesses that depend on it, the hundreds of staff whose jobs rely on it and the millions of visitors who flock to it each year, we call upon Hackney Council to do all it can to prevent BOXPARK Shoreditch from closure. We have initiated a campaign to save BoxPark Shoreditch. Your help and support would be greatly appreciated.

This hits at the heart of why I keep saying #SaveNightlife #SaveCulture When the likes of #BoxPark in #Shoreditch faces closure, WHAT CHANCE do our Nightlife & Cultural spaces have in towns & cities outside of London's busiest Night Time Enterprise Zones If we lose spaces like BOXPARK Shoreditch we start to lose Nightlife across the country #SaveBoxPark #SaveNightlife
