As part of Enfield Council’s celebrations of the re-opening of Forty Hall in October 2012 Finger in the Pie were commissioned to create a parade and community festival based around the 1633 Lord Mayors Parade of Nicholas Rainton, Lord Mayor of London, and original occupant of the historic hall in Enfield Town.
Working with several other theatre companies and local community groups we staged two parades, one in Enfield which was repeated as part of the 2012 Lord Mayors Parade, as well as a sight specific carnival in the grounds of Forty Hall itself. Having launched the festival The Forty Hall Rainton Pageant is now a regular part of Enfield Council’s arts calendar.
