Venues Day 2022

The UK’s largest event for the Grassroots Music Venue sector and everyone who interacts with it. For its 8th edition, Music Venue Trust’s national networking day has been designed to respond to our understanding that, after a tough couple of years, it is critical that new connections are made and that alternative ways of doing things are explored. Venues Day 2022 is built around one key aim; that every single delegate leaves having made connections or re-connections that will help them in a meaningful way.

Essential Information:
Tuesday 18 October, 10:00 AM-6:00 PM
Hackney Church, Lower Clapton Rd, London E5 0PD
