On Friday 24th September 2021 Break to the beat in association with Elysium Events and Arkade Graphics organised a Hip Hop culture event at The Broughton Hungry Horse pub and restaurant located in Broughton Milton Keynes. The management at the venue contacted Break to the beat after visiting the Milton Keynes Hip Hop Culture Part 1 exhibition held during July & August 2021 at MK Gallery.

Over the course of the event which ran from midday until midnight graffiti artist Arkade Graphics created two pieces of artwork for the venue. The first was to highlight the charity work that The Broughton continuously support for Macmillan cancer research and was created on the wall facing the outside seating area.
