Set in East London, on the iconic Isle of Dogs, ”Who Ate All the Pies?’ is a GPS triggered audio quest for families to solve the mystery of the missing pies. Encountering a range of suspicious suspects, while uncovering local history and funny facts, families will collect letters from the audio clues and then be led to celebrate with traditional Pie, mash & licor. The walk is free and hosted on the Overhear App. We partnered with local theatre The Space, Friends of the Island History Trust and 10 local artists to co- create this piece which promises a fun day out combining storytelling, walking, solving a mystery, and food – it’s a day out that a group of all ages can access and enjoy together.

Set on Mudchute farm, one of the largest city farms in Europe, and yet surrounded by the most densely populated part of the UK and biggest financial district (prime real estate), the green space here is massively under pressure. As well as being entertaining, fun and free for families, WAATP aims to celebrate the working class history of the Isle of Dogs (once home to the biggest docks in the world), whilst creating more awareness of the existence and need to preserve the precious Mudchute Farm and these green spaces. Characters include a singer- songwriter pig- based on a historic East London Saleman, a folkloric squirrel, gossipy llamas and some very dramatic grass.

The walk takes 45-60 minutes, and after solving the mystery families will celebrate with Pie and Mash from East -End legends Maureen’s Pie and Mash.

Inspired by open world video games, beautiful local urban countryside landscapes, the fascinating history of The Isle of Dogs, and delicious local Pie & Mash, ‘Who Ate All the Pies?’ has been made with generous insights from Friend of The Island History Trust (some of whom also lend their voices and poetry!) and historian Caroline Knowles ( Serious Money).
