London friends!

If you fancy a free ride on a seven-seater bike in the presence of some very 'special guests', then please come to This Is What Democracy Looks Like! - my event in the Olympic Park this Thursday - Saturday, 1-6pm. Read on for all the details. It would be lovely to see you there!

This Is What Democracy Looks Like!

A new project by Ellie Harrison presented by The Yard as part of the Walkie Talkies festival curated by Beckie Darlington for the Local Programme in Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park.

This Is What Democracy Looks Like! gives you the opportunity to meet & greet your newly elected politicians at a roving roundtable discussion upon a bicycle built for seven. Hop on, decide on your direction and then travel together through the Olympic Park whilst discussing the issues that matter to you with the people in power.
