Looking for something fun and uplifting to kick off the new year? We’ve got you covered!
Islington Heritage’s Finsbury Winter Warmers programme is back and it is better than ever! This vibrant 8-week programme launches on 12 January, bringing well over 40 fantastic events to 14 local venues. Even better? Every event is completely free, and we’ll keep you fuelled with refreshments too.
From hands-on jewellery making, creative cooking sessions, and arts workshops, to behind-the-scenes tours of the Emirates Stadium and the historic Charterhouse, there’s something for everyone to enjoy.
You can browse the full line-up and book your spot on Eventbrite from Fri 19th Dec!
Events are exclusively for local residents, so you’ll need the password: WinterWarmers4 when booking.
If an event requires pre-booking, this will be mentioned in the event description. For more information and to make a booking, visit our website.
There are also three events from the London Archives, diving back into Finsbury’s fascinating history – including an 18th century coffee shop that ended with a prison sentence!
