Where & when

​

Sunday April 26th, 2pm - 6pm 

The Old Church, Stoke Newington Church St, N16

​

Why? 

 

Funds raised from the piano playing slots will go to the "Save the Old Church" Crowdfunder.

 

The Old Church needs to raise £30k to replace Victorian waste pipes in order to stay open. 

London's only Elizabethan church (built 1563) is now a thriving and eclectic music and community grass roots venue. A space of exploration, a supportive environment with a sublime acoustic, a place to find your groove. 

They are launching a campaign to save The Old Church. The main ground toilet drain urgently needs replacing, without it they will have to close.
