Canvey - The Promised Island (Film Screening)

31st May 2026

ARK - Cliftonville Cultural Space

L'Chaim screening of an extended version of the fascinating BBC documentary at ARK, Cliftonville's Cultural Space

2pm - 3.40pm

Stamford Hill has been associated with its ultra-Orthodox Jewish residents since the 1800s but as properties have become increasingly out of reach, some families have decided it is time to move. A community has started to develop in Canvey Island, which in 2013 was voted the most English place in Britain.

This extended version of the fascinating BBC documentary follows one family from London as they adjust to their new home and explores the challenges of integration awaiting both the newcomers and the existing, non-Jewish Canvey Islanders.

This event is part of L'Chaim!, a series of events celebrating the heritage of Ark's building. Jewish Culture Month (16 May - 16 June) is a new national festival celebrating Jewish life in the UK.
