Actors and performers from around London will join a rally to save Applecarts Arts, a creative venue that brings arts to the people of Newham and which faces closure because of a cash crisis.

The rally will be at East Ham Town Hall on 3 December from 10am-11am. The event takes place during Newham Council’s Cabinet meeting and is organised by Equity, the performing arts and entertainment trade union, and will call on Newham Council to save the venue.
