Between 16–24 June we'll be celebrating the reopening of the Soho Poly, a community-focussed arts venue in the heart of London.
About the event
This celebration takes the form of a mixture of community-focussed and free public events, including school workshops, play readings, gigs, exhibitions and open house days all designed to give a flavour of what the new space will offer. Many of these events will be open to the public, as shown in the programme below.
More information will be revealed in the coming weeks so check back soon for details.
Visit the Eventbrite page to register for the activities you're interested in. Booking for all activities will open shortly.
This festival is kindly supported by Westminster City Council and the Quintin Hogg Trust.
