A group of people standing under an arch in conservatory

Young Barbican take over the Barbican Centre for a whole weekend! 

Join fellow young creatives for a weekend exploring making and what it takes to build your artistry or your creative practice. This is a chance to come together and let your hair down and enjoy an array of workshops where you can make your own jewellery, candles, zines, customise your own clothing and try out gelli printing! 

We're taking full reins of the Barbican Centre like never before with a rollerskating rink on level -1 and DJs playing everything from afrobeats, amapiano, soul, R&B, UK and experimental music.
