Creative Encounters

Join Creative Encounters for a social evening of conversation, music and making.

Each month (usually on the third Wednesday), in the Clore Ballroom at Royal Festival Hall, a different artist leads an evening of playful creativity. Aiming to be a place where you can meet and socialise with new people while trying something different, there’s an emphasis on getting to know others through interacting with hands-on creative activities.

Wed 25 September
Visual artist and colour therapist Momtaz Begum-Hossain leads a weaving workshop reflecting on the meanings of colour where she guides us to reflect on the meanings of colour. There’s also the chance to hear live music by fresh, up-and-coming London talent, Asha Gold.

Wed 30 October
Celebrate the beauty of words, literature and poetry with performances and creative workshops led by the playful poet and artist Sophie Herxheimer. This Creative Encounter takes place as part of London Literature Festival.
