Sad news from the council this morning:\One Hackney Festival Clissold Park EventSaturday 21 July A message from Hackney CouncilRegrettably the planned event in Clissold Park for One Hackney Festival will not now go ahead. As a result of sustained bad weather the park is waterlogged and the event site within the park has been deemed unsafe.One Hackney Festival will take place as planned with events across the whole borough to welcome the Olympic Torch to Hackney.One Hackney Festival Parade will run as planned along the same 2.8 mile route and ending in front of St Mary’s Church Stoke Newington. There will be some extra pop-up surprises around the borough during the day which will be announced during the week leading up to 21 July.The 2000-strong Parade heralds the start of a day of celebration across the borough which will end at around 6.30pm when the last Hackney torchbearer hands over the Torch to Waltham Forest. There was a lot of interest in Clissold Park and the Council understands there will be disappointment that the event is not now happening. However there is still a lot of activity to enjoy in the borough on the historic day the Olympic Torch comes to Hackney.Please keep in touch with One Hackney Festival events by:visiting: http://www.hackney.gov.uk/one-festivalfollowing: facebook.com/hackney2012following: twitter.com/hackneyliving”“
