It’s impossible to doubt Emma Dagnes’s commitment to Alexandra Palace.

As CEO of Alexandra Park and Palace Charitable Trust, she oversees a multi-faceted organisation that sees over 5 million people interact with it each year.

‘Ally Pally’ is about more than just the building - with an ice rink, a pub, an events venue, and a huge park to manage, the survival of Alexandra Palace relies on a monumental, united effort from the entire organisation.
