Did you know we are a charity? Since its opening in 1866, Shoreditch Town Hall has witnessed everything from Victorian reform and Sylvia Pankhurst’s activism, to vibrant boxing matches, and the electrifying Whirl-Y-Gigs in the 90s. Each era has left its mark on this iconic building to make it the creative venue it is today, and now it’s our turn to care for its future.

Ministry of Stories take over The Ditch with DreamState - an interactive adventure for families, designed to bring the imagination to life.
Choose your own path through eight fantastical rooms, jam packed with interactive activities, intriguing experiences and more than a few surprises. Perhaps you’ll unearth a strange new plant, party with a neon leopard or get blissfully lost in the miniature worlds of nostalgia.
Created in workshops with 112 young people between the ages of 6 and 16, DreamState is a fantastical interactive exhibition for all ages that promises to be an unforgettable way to start the summer.
Ministry of Stories helps young people in east London discover their confidence, imagination and potential through the power of their writing.
