Since its opening in 1866, Shoreditch Town Hall has witnessed everything from Victorian reform and Sylvia Pankhurst’s activism, to vibrant boxing matches, and the electrifying Whirl-Y-Gigs in the 90s. Each era has left its mark on this iconic building to make it the creative venue it is today, and now it’s our turn to care for its future.

We are is an independent charitable trust (no. 1069617) and we run a largely break-even budget, reinvesting all income into preserving our building's stories for generations to come.

We have never been revenue funded and therefore rely entirely on earned income. 

Shoreditch Town Hall: presents a year-round cultural programmeof progressive theatre, music, dance, circus and talks; Supports artists by providing in-kind space for rehearsals and R&D residencies, and a permanent Artists Workspace where creatives can take advantage of a free desk space; Collaborates with a range of local partners to deliver an extensive community and engagement programme, like our Town Hall Tea Dances and our recent Local Lounge – offering free space to local grassroots and not-for-profit organisations to host events. 

As we strive to preserve, restore and develop our landmark Grade II listed building, and animate it with an exciting cultural programme and community activity, we continue to face significant financial challenges.  

Support us today and help us preserve our stories for generations to come.

Thank you for helping us.
