‘(Pub)lic House’: Premiere and a Pint

Join us for the premiere of ‘Desire Paths’ commission, ‘(Pub)lic House’ by Phoebe & Roger Wagner. A film about empty pubs in Croydon, made of interviews edited into poems, maps into animations and words written by the community. Grab a bag of scampi fries, a drink and watch this 30 min pub crawl through time.

You’re also invited to chat and/or make your own map remembering, imagining and manifesting your hopes for your pub. Have your voice heard by key influencers in pubs in Croydon and join together to rebuild them. (You’re also invited for a little bevvy at The Cricketers Pub after to celebrate and set the world to rights) 🙂

• 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.
