Make the Modern Cockney Museum happen

Support or work in celebrating culture, heritage, and future of ‘non-posh Londoners’ aka Cockneys.

The Modern Cockney Festival (March 1st - 31st 2025) is planning ahead for next year's Festival

Whether you’re ‘Old School Cockney’, 'New School Cockney' - the latest evolution of non-posh Londoner, or part of the ‘Cockney Diaspora’ living beyond the traditional heartlands or 'Ancestral Cockney' second, third or more generation Cockney, or just think we're a good idea and need supporting - this a time to embrace your inner Cockney.

Can you chip in £20 to support our work.

At the heart of our mission is challenging how the stories and voices of non-posh people - like Cockney, Brum, Geordie, Scouse, or Weegie - don’t have cultural institutions to define, defend, or advance their collective interests. As a result, their stories get told by others. Stories usually full of negative stereotypes, misinformation, or even airbrushed out of history.

We don’t need a formal organization for Cockney. Our Festival with its virtual Museum, instead enables you to explore and celebrate your shared identities based on positive, inclusive values, boosting your sense of, confidence, pride, self-compassion, and purpose.

We do need however, your help to provide the valuable funds to make a difference.

Be proud of your affinity with non-posh Londoners and celebrate your pride.

Invite your family, friends, neighbours, or colleagues to join you in celebrating being a modern Cockney..

Do something. Chip in now. And we'll thank you for your kind support.
