Murda Beatz No Phones Tour

Murda Beatz lands for his London debut at Village Underground on Friday 24th July, bringing his No Phones Tour to London. One of the defining producers of modern hip hop, Murda Beatz has shaped the sound of artists including Drake, Travis Scott, Migos and Nicki Minaj, building a catalogue of era-defining records that have amassed billions of streams. This summer he brings his, phone-free live experience to London, creating a space where the focus stays firmly on the music and the moment. Fresh from his collaboration with Prospa on “Baby”, Murda Beatz continues to push beyond hip hop into club-focused sounds. Now the multi-platinum producer takes over the East London railway arches of Village Underground. Pre-sale goes live this Friday July 10th at 12pm, exclusively for those who sign up.

Summer Art Club: Flower Meadows

Summer Art Club: Flower Meadows A new Summer Art Club session for children aged 7–12 years inspired by the colours, shapes and textures of flower meadows. In this session, children will design and build their own richly textured meadow scene, exploring layering, pattern, collage and colour. Using simple circular forms as a starting point, they’ll develop a lively composition full of detail and movement, while gaining confidence working with different materials and techniques. The focus is on experimentation, creative decision-making and enjoying the process of making artwork from start to finish. The session is led by professional artist Emma, who brings extensive experience in both fine art and education. After completing a Fine Art and Art History degree at Newcastle University, Emma has worked in heritage and learning environments alongside her own creative practice in painting, drawing and printmaking. Her work has been published in art books and guides, and exhibited at venues including Covent Garden in London and the Hatton Gallery in Newcastle. She now focuses on delivering engaging art workshops for adults and children, encouraging creativity and confidence in a supportive setting. All materials are provided. Parking is included in the ticket price. Each workshop activity has suggested age ranges provided, however, we accept parent/guardian discretion. All children must be accompanied by a parent or guardian at all times.

Wild Church

Go wild in the country. Well in the area around the church - looking for God in nature, and learning about all the ways he watches over us by providing us with the environment we need to live in this world. There'll be lots of activities, things to do and find, a bit of Bible, and new friends to meet. Everyone welcome! In May we will be thinking about birds and where they fit in our lives and God's creation.
