Plot 9 Presents… Stories under the Parachute

We co-created and hosted a monthly gathering in a community garden in Maze Hill, Greenwich. What began as a simple idea to bring people together to share stories, poems, music and lived experience grew into a space for genuine connection. Informal and welcoming, these evenings offered a rare chance to gather for free in nature, in the heart of the city.

Impact

Over twelve months, Plot 9 Presents... became a cherished local ritual. Audiences of 50+ gathered each time. People returned. They brought friends. These evenings created belonging, sparked ideas and wove the kind of community fabric that often goes unseen but never unfelt.

  •  “I attended several Plot 9 Presents... events that Clare facilitated brilliantly. She curated a wonderful creative, diverse collective of speakers. Clare's energy, knowledge and innovation shown would inspire me to attend any event she hosts."
