A year in the life at Ally Pally – 2022 edition

By Clara Michel

What a year!

One thing is clear: we’ve had a lot of fun, and we hope you did too!

Thank you to everyone who has visited Ally Pally or supported us in some way throughout 2022. As a charity, we’re delighted that so many people have continued to gain genuine benefit from the Palace in some form. Whether that’s the thousands of people we’ve reached via our learning programme; one of the millions enjoying the sanctuary provided by our award-winning park; the myriad of leisure activities on offer here; or the life-affirming joy of seeing your favourite artist perform live.

It’s difficult to accurately put into words or quantify the positive impact these activities can have on people’s lives. But if you’re one of the lucky ones to have experienced them, then you know what we’re talking about.

So here’s to 2022 and everything it brought.

See you at the Park and Palace next year for more amazing experiences!
