2026 marks 90 years since the Battle of Cable Street. A big celebration is planned for the actual anniversary – 4th October 2026 (more details to follow).
The aim of TOGETHER on Cable Street is to remember what happened in 1936 and connect it with what’s happening today.
We’ve put together a season of cultural events that will run for the six months leading up to and beyond, 4th October. There’s book discussions, dance, drama, film screenings, music, walks and more.
On this website you’ll find details of what’s in store, including booking information.
TOGETHER on Cable Street is a non-commercial alliance of local people and organisations, including trade unions, faith, community and cultural groups. There’s a full list and contact details on the “About Us” page.
* PUBLIC LAUNCH *
We will be launching TOGETHER on Cable Street on Sunday 10th May, from 1pm, at the Genesis Cinema, 93 – 95 Mile End Road, E1 4UJ.
The season will open with a screening of From Cable Street to Brick Lane (2011, 74 mins), a documentary made by Phil Maxwell and Hazuan Hashim to mark the 75th anniversary of the Battle of Cable Street. The film includes interviews with people who were there on 4th October 1936.
We are delighted that Phil and Haz will join us for a Q and A after the film.
