Compressor House Warming: Community Takeover

We're opening the doors of this historic building and kicking things off with a week of events led by locals.

Take part in a wellness festival, peruse an indoor market or get skilled up with youth and children’s technology workshops, and that’s just for starters!

The Community Takeover was co-created as part of a community engagement session and call-out that took place in May 2025 which brought together local community organisations and residents.

It will be the first opportunity for communities to use the space since its recent renovation!
