Launch Event at The Handbag Factory: exhibition, creative networking, music

Launch Event at The Handbag Factory

We're excited to invite you to a launch event at our new creative coworking venue, The Handbag Factory, with an evening complete with live music, drinks, creative networking - and an exhibition opening to boot!

Come along on Thursday November 23rd to explore a selection of works by artists and makers across ASC Studios, in an exhibition that celebrates the architectural and design heritage of the building.

This event is also an opportunity to connect with not only the coworking community at The Handbag Factory, but also a wider network of local creative individuals, businesses, and organisations.

The ASC team will also be on hand to answer any questions you might have about coworking memberships, hiring the event space, or to show you around the building.

We hope you'll join us for this one-off occasion to share and connect with a new creative community in London!

Access information

The ground floor of the venue is wheelchair-accessible with a ramp leading into the gallery space. Unfortunately we do not have wheelchair-accessible toilets and the upper floor meeting room and coworking desks are only accessible by staircase as we do not have a lift.

There is a disabled parking space outside the venue. There is no other street parking due to residential parking, however there are commercial parking spaces nearby including opposite the venue at a supermarket.

Please let us know if you have any questions regarding accessibility and our team will do our best to help: [email protected]
