A final call to give your orders to pub influencers in Croydon.
With snacks and drinks provided, join the filmmakers, participants and local community for an open discussion with pub influencers (landlords, architects, planning consultants and councillors). We’ll chat about the impact of the project, pub closures and consider actions we can take to keep Croydon pubs open. We’ll end with an objection party, where we’ll de-bunk planning applications and give you the tools to have your say on the Croydon Council website.
If you haven’t been involved in the project, please make sure you’ve watched (Pub)lic House beforehand as the chat will mainly centre the ideas in the film. It’s free to watch online here: https://turf-projects.com/project/desire-paths/public-house/
You can also read more about the local community’s hopes, wishes and imaginings for Croydon pubs in the (Pub)lic House Manifesto: http://tiny.cc/pubmanifesto
ABOUT (PUB)LIC HOUSE:
Pubs across Croydon have been boarded up, abandoned and left to be empty. Phoebe remembers growing up in them. Roger (her Dad) remembers playing music in them since the early 90s. Together they go on a pub crawl across Croydon asking 3 questions: “What happened in these pubs, what are they now and what could they become?”. Compiled through interviews and workshops, see their exploration of the music, stories and sounds that populate(d) these pubs.
‘(Pub)lic House’ is one of the artist projects within Turf Projects’ commission series Desire Paths, as part of This Is Croydon, London Borough of Culture 2023 @croydonculture.

WORKSHOP CODE:
Turf aims to be a space where all are welcomed & respected. We ask all attendees to align with this spirit when booking and support us in creating a welcoming & collaborative atmosphere together. We ask that everyone is;
- Kind and respectful in our language and behaviour towards others. Turf is a space which is anti racism, sexism, homophobia and ableism.
- Considerate of others’ time; allowing others room to speak & engage.
- Respectful of the space itself as belonging to many people, treating the space & objects with care.
- Attend wherever possible: In 2023, around 30% of people booking free tickets didn’t turn up! Our free tickets are limited and in high demand. Every person who doesn’t turn up means someone else can’t attend, so please let us know if you can’t make it to free up a space. If you don’t attend twice or more without letting us know, you may be restricted from booking again.
