a community craft and music programme that will transform The Exchange, Erith’s Grade II listed old library, into a candlelit autumnal sound haven through collective workshops and a series of uplifting concerts held as the skies darken toward the end of the year.

This programme is part of Night Visions an Arts Council-supported initiative led by the Bexley Culture Network, of which The Exchange is a proud member.

LEAVES FALL IN BRIGHT SOUND.
