With blue skies overhead (check out our Instagram pics of Clissold Park and Stoke Newington) we enter July, which brings with it our very first Edinburgh Fringe Festival preview – See-Through – a reality show that examines identity, validation and narcissism.
Earlier this year, violinist Max Baillie filmed a gorgeous video of beautiful music by Bach in our intimate space. Early music fans have the Stoke Newington Early Music Festival to look forward to, which spans the first two weeks of July.
If you are looking for a space to do some filming or are planning an event,get in touch to see if we can help out.
The Stoke Newington Early Music Festival is a celebration of music from the 16th to 18th centuries, from Elizabethan lute songs to Bach. This is the 24th year, making it one of the longest-established early music festivals in the country. We are delighted to be the venue for five of the festival concerts.
