    Stanley Arts presents the This Is Croydon podcast, it celebrates the Borough of Culture year in Croydon, 2023 - 2024.


    In this episode, we will be covering community events and heritage exhibitions, and getting a sneak peak at upcoming autumn events.


    We are joined by the likes of ZooCo, BirdGang Ltd and join in the fun at this year's Carnival of Invention in South Norwood. We also check out the Phipson Exihibtion and get to learn more as we're joined by local historian John Hickman and we hear from the artists behind Croydon Stands Tall.
