Our Winter Season is in full flow! There are still 12 more fantastic events on in December, many close to selling out, so book aheadto avoid missing out.
2018 has been our busiest, most successful year ever. We’ve hosted hundreds of incredible events, curated a festival themed around ‘Englishness’ and been named as one of the best churches in London for live music by the Evening Standard. A very big thank you to all our volunteers and audience members who’ve made this year such a success.
2019 is set to be even better, with exciting performances from our Associate Artists and much more. Stay tuned here and on social media @theoldchurchN16. If you’d like to help us spread the word about The Old Church as an arts venue, you can do so by leaving us a review onTripAdvisor or Facebook. Thank you!
