At Abbey Gardens, we’re so close to the Olympic Park action that we can hear the cheery volunteers on the Greenway. On opening night, we hosted the Floating Cinema‘s alternative east end celebration and social outdoor film screening Not the opening ceremony. At dusk, Marcus Coates’ film ‘Vision quest: a Ritual for Elephant & Castle’ was screened and snacks were served made from Abbey Gardens produce. Our location gave us our very own flypast as the Red Arrows sped towards the stadium – and a view of the fireworks!
