Woolwich Works today

Heritage Open Day returns to the architectural award-winning Grade II and II* listed heritage buildings of Woolwich Works! Our over 300 year old buildings have some amazing stories to tell. They've welcomed King George III, housed a firework factory and a theatre, and even the Royal Artillery Band!

Always evolving, Woolwich Works is now a multi-faceted event space at the heart of our community with a wide variety of programming including commercial hires, workshops, live music, dance, comedy, café, resident artistic companies, fun for families, and more!

Join us as we celebrate Heritage Open Day on Saturday 21 September with fa brimming programme of activity, for all ages, taking place across the building:

- Listen to History Talk: Royal Arsenal Explored showcasing 500 years of the Royal Arsenal in South East London
- Enjoy an open rehearsal by our resident artistic company Chineke!, Europe's first majority Black and ethnically diverse orchestra
- Take part in one of three heritage tours across the property to see how Woolwich Works has been redeveloped
- Revisit King George III's open-air feast of beans and bacon with a modern day Bean Feast in our Visitors' Book Café (including vegetarian options!)
- Sketch the site from a perch in our sunny Courtyard - all ages and abilities welcome!
- Relax and enjoy our open air Courtyard and Garden Shed Bar

and more!
