Children tackle climate change through art at H&F Arts Festival
27 June 2026 · By Boroughly editorial — AI-assisted, human-reviewed.
A new strand of the Hammersmith & Fulham Arts Festival is giving children and young people the chance to explore climate change through creative work, under the banner Creative Changemakers. The programme, announced on 26 June, is a dedicated festival offering rather than a one-off workshop — signalling that the organisers see arts-based climate engagement for younger audiences as a meaningful part of this year's festival.
Arts festivals that put children at the centre, rather than treating them as an add-on, tend to generate real enthusiasm from families — and combining that with climate themes gives young participants a way to process a complex subject through making and creativity rather than abstract statistics.
The H&F Arts Festival has in recent years grown into one of the more ambitious community cultural programmes in west London, spanning music, visual art, performance and community events across the borough. For Fulham families looking for things to do this week, the Creative Changemakers strand is well worth exploring.
