ENTER THE RING FOR THE TIGA GAMES INDUSTRY AWARDS 2024

The awards ceremony will take place on Thursday November 28^th at the iconic Shoreditch Town Hall. Opened in 1866, the building played an important role in East End culture, first as a Music Hall and later as a boxing venue. It is now run by the Shoreditch Town Hall Trust which has firmly established the venue as an arts, events and community space.
