T100 is Thurrock’s festival of Walking, Talking and Making which has been running since 2015, with the help of the local community, our partners and volunteers.
Talking is so important for T100 – we are a festival that explores and celebrates local stories, places and all the people who come together to make Thurrock what is it today. Each year the T100 festival features interesting and engaging talks, stories and information linked to a theme. In recent years we have focused on local values and hopes for the future.
In 2024, we went wild across Thurrock, exploring nature and discovering stories from our local communities and more. This year’s festival culminated on Saturday 22 June with a flag parade through Grays town centre into the second edition of the Afro Food Fest to celebrate T100 being 10! We shared stories, met with T100 volunteers, walk leaders and participants throughout the years and marked our ten years of local creativity and culture.
Stories and talking underpin the festival and here you’ll be able to discover more about Thurrock from those who live, work and call Thurrock home.
In 2016, artists Laura Trevail and Jacci Todd worked with communities and schools across Thurrock for three months to collect 100 great stories about Thurrock. These stories informed our walks and making activities for further T100 festivals. We’re pleased to be able to share these with you and showcase the silk flags that were created based on these stories, underpinned with background by Thurrock’s community historian, Jon Catton.
The T100 stories have been compiled into a book, which is available to purchase from our Shop.
We also created an interactive story app, created by creative computing students from Bath Spa University, led by Lee Scott. We are very grateful to Lee and his team.
