About the event + Laoxa Ltd & Laoxa’s Creative Ground

Laoxa Ltd is a Tottenham-based food and arts brand founded by Lucy Ansa-Addo working at the intersection of food, art and community.

Through our community events, Laoxa’s Creative Ground, we create what we call a creative playground - immersive, hands-on experiences where people don’t just attend, but actively take part, create and connect.

Our handcrafted products and work have been featured on This Morning, Apple U.S., Radio Times and Good Housekeeping UK, with a growing focus on building real-life creative spaces that bring people together.

At the heart of Laoxa’s Creative Ground is accessibility - transforming everyday spaces into vibrant environments where creativity is shared, explored and experienced together.

A key part of this is our Community Legacy Rug experience - a collaborative rug tufting session where each participant creates a section of a shared piece. The final rug is professionally finished, engraved with participants’ names, and lives on as a lasting legacy within the space or community it was created in.

For this event, we’ll be creating a Community Legacy Rug with the Morocco Bound community, alongside a wider creative and cultural experience.

Guests can also expect a food experience from Laoxa, rooted in 4+ generations of flavourful, home-cooked recipes. Our Ghanaian soul food includes signature jollof rice, halal grilled chicken, vegan options, plantain, fresh salad and coleslaw - all prepared with care, including slow-cooked elements using cold-pressed avocado oil.

Alongside this, we’ll be serving our hand-piped gluten-free cupcakes, where food meets art.

Every Laoxa experience is designed to feel welcoming and interactive - a space where creativity, culture and community come together in real life.
