POSTS STORIES REELS TAGGED

We spoke to some @hockleyhustle crew to find out how old they were when the very first festival took place in 2006!

This is only some of the Hockley Hustle team! From volunteers, artists, social media & planning team members & set up teams & our founders… we’ve got a wide range and diverse range of humans making the magic happen 💃

To say it’s been 20 of years the Hustle, each and every person who has become part of the crew has helped shape @hockleyhustle 🥳 Here’s to all the faces new & old who have helped make our festival what it is today 🫶

Massive shoutout to our partners for supporting us year-on-year 🫶 @aceagrams @gigantictickets @itsinnottingham @mynottingham @confetti_college @nottinghamtrentuni

The Under the Bridge Summer Program 2026 is LIVE! - Sign Up Now!

The Under the Bridge project is run in partnership with Nottingham CAN & Bluetonic and is a local men’s mental health group helping to break the stigma of mental health and offer real support where it’s needed most.

The Under the Bridge project gives men a safe place to meet, talk, and build resilience through shared experiences, and community-led activities such as wild swimming, paddle boarding, yoga, wellbeing sessions, walking by the water as well as our choir singing under bridges by the water.

We begin the new program tomorrow with a Group Walk - a space for new sign-ups to come along, meet the group and get to know the project

We’ve been hustling away to plant seeds that will flourish on May 30th into an array of activities, entertainment and food across the day - we cannot wait to see you there 🌱

Filmed in one take, "Handwritten Transitions" poem written and performed by David "Stickman" Higgins . Huge thanks to David for collaborating on this. The poem sums up the soul & spirit of the Transitions portrait exhibition perfectly. The show is in on daily at Nottingham Castle and runs until the March 8th alongside the Lives in Motion National Portrait Gallery touring show. Big thanks to Tristram and the curatorial team at the Castle for setting up a screen in the gallery space which is playing this powerful performance on loop on within the exhibition.

What began as an open call has grown into a full exhibition exploring stories of change, belonging, and the human spirit, told through portraits of incredible people from our city.

Every painting began with a photoshoot with my son, Kieran @urbancamerauk. We started out in friendly competition, seeing who could capture the best shot. It didn’t take long to realise Kieran’s were the ones, so I focused on the lighting and let him lead. He photographed each participant with honesty and care, and his lens became the starting point for every painting.

Huge thanks to the seven amazing sitters... Danny, Alma, Jamal, Iryna, David, Zadie and Sharon, for sharing their stories, their time, and their trust. Each portrait is a collaboration and a celebration of the strength and spirit of our community.

Special thanks to Tristram and all at Nottingham Castle and to Dr Octavia Tam and the team from the National Portrait Gallery.
