Altonesque

Join us to take part in the ALTONESQUE project that was inspired by the Splash of Colour mural, created earlier this year.

Altonesque will be a community-created pattern that celebrates the Alton - its nature, architecture and changing seasons.

Using simple techniques, like tracing, drawing and stamping, you will help design a pattern that will form part of Alton's creative legacy. It will inspire future murals, architecture and local identity across the town's regeneration programme.

No experience is needed to join us at this creative pattern workshop. All materials will be provided.

• Date: Friday 14 November 2025
• Time: 3.30 to 5.30pm
• Location: Alton Arts Hub, SW15 4ED

Following the recent resident ballot, we know you might have questions about what the plans mean for you.

This relaxed and friendly drop-in event for Alton residents is your chance to chat one-on-one with the Alton Renewal Team, the architects from HTA and officers from the Allocation team. They will be there to share updates, answer your questions and talk through what’s next - all in a welcoming and informal setting.

There will also be food provided by Chantelle’s Community Kitchen and children’s crafting activities.

Pop in, say hello, and let’s shape the future of Alton together!
