A new community arts facility for Stoke Newington
Welcome
Our aim is to turn this well loved, but decaying and underused building, into a thriving hub of the community. From the current occasional use of the Old Church as a venue for musicians and acts of worship, our vision is to create a modern extension and refurbish the old parts of the building to create a comfortable, flexible space where community groups, professionals and students from the schools can create, perform and display their work.
