The Blessing is a spectacular celebration marking Windrush Day and Refugee Week 2025 that will bring together musicians, artists and our local community.

The event will start with a Caribbean blessing for Hackney, featuring drumming, spoken word, steel pan and singing. The show will finish with our massed choirs, taking the stage alongside an exciting line up of musical headliners to fill the theatre with rhythm and joy.   

All ticket sales will go towards supporting Hackney Empire and Counterpoints' wider engagement programmes.

Funded by the Windrush Day Grant Scheme, supported by Ministry of Housing Community and Local Government administered by Near Neighbours.

This project is supported by Hackney Council.

Presented by Hackney Empire and Counterpoints Arts.
