Welcome to LIFT's 2009 programme

We've got a fantastic array of events and festivals to make sure you feel the love all summer long!

From June 30 the LIFT Living Archive, a collection of documents, photographs, prints, objects, audio and video recordings tracing Lift’s first 20 years as one of Europe’s leading arts organisations is officially launched. Click on the link below to find out more.

In July, catch us at Shoreditch Festival where we present the SHOREDITCH FESTIVAL PARADE on SATURDAY 18 JUNE with Emergency Exit Arts. Get a sneak preview of what's in store by following the link below.

From 21-31 AUGUST, LIFT is joining forces with Molten Festival, Barking's premiere performing arts festival, to present LIFT MOLTEN FESTIVAL. This year’s Festival has something for everyone to love and features a fantastic line up of artists from the breathtaking Transe Express to the ever-saucy Whoopee Club. The Lift, our ingenious portable performance space, will be taking centre stage as the venue for this year's programme, which would not be possible without the ongoing support of the London Thames Gateway Development Corporation. For full programme, access and booking information click on the link below.

LIFT Molten Festival is about how our city holds wonders in every corner, how familiar spaces can be transformed, and how every day is full of magic, if you only know where to look.  Let the neighbour you’ve known for years astonish you with their story; reveal your embarrassing story and find a hundred people who know exactly what you mean; get involved and show off your singing skills or try your hand at something for the first time.

Whatever it is that you love to do, you’ll find it at LIFT Molten Festival.

Prepare to be surprised!
