Join us for an inspiring night exploring community-led design in our eco-building made with straw-bales, including stories from the original young designers who co-created it 18 years ago!

Why did they decide the building should be made of straw? What journey did they go on to imagine, design and make a media centre for Knowle West and see the building come to life?

Find out how communities are still pushing the boundaries today with natural materials and imagining better futures. Be part of a lively discussion around what’s next for community-led design and making.

Timings:

6-6.30: Welcome drinks and exhibition viewing
6.30-8: Panel presentation and discussion
8-9: Meal and conversation
