Nightlife Communities: Sustaining Grassroots Scenes

A panel talk hosted by London Museum in partnership with Kindred, a local community radio station, book and record shop based in Clerkenwell.

Join us at Fabric for an evening dedicated to celebrating and sharing ideas for sustaining grassroots nightlife across London.

Conversations will explore both the challenges and opportunities facing the sector during increasingly precarious times. Hear from DIY, community-run venues, promoters, and artists, our speakers will share oral histories and explore strategies for ensuring the long-term sustainability of London’s grassroots scenes.
The panel will also examine the role accessibility plays in building a futureproof nightlife ecosystem. There will be space for Q&A, and the audience is invited to contribute.

The panel discussion will be live streamed and archived on Kindred Radio’s website.
