Community & Events
We want people to be inspired by the Alton and for the Alton to be inspired by people. Community will feature strongly in the transformation of the Alton.

Join us for the unveiling of LIBRARY LEGENDS
You may remember that we held an event in February 2026, to create a new artwork for the Danebury Avenue Hoarding. This community art project features legendary characters from popular books.
The unveiling will take place on the corner of Danebury Avenue, by the Rainbow Steps. You also have an opportunity to become part of the story, by helping to name the new community hub.
It will all take place on Thursday 14th May 2026 from 3.30pm.
Refreshments will be provided.
