Woolwich Open Studios


SAVE THE DATE: Next year’s Open Studios weekend will take place on Saturday 6th and Sunday 7th June 2026, 11am-5pm

With over 550 studios, Thames-Side Studios Woolwich has been supporting London's creativity since 2016. We offer affordable studios and facilities for our inspiring and diverse community.

We hold an Annual Open Studios weekend which this year took place on Saturday 7th and Sunday 8th June 2025. It's a chance to explore the site and discover how our artists and makers work in their space across a variety of practices.

Studio practices across the Woolwich site cover painting, drawing, illustration, printmaking, sculpture, fashion, jewellery, leathercraft, millinery, textile design, embroidery, weaving, photography, graphic design, animation, film & video, music composition, writing, ceramics, glass art, fabrication, conservation, lutherie, furniture making, carpentry, architecture, upholstery and picture framing.

Over the weekend we have exhibitions, street food, free workshops and kids’ activities - something for everyone to enjoy.

Woolwich Open Exhibition 2025
For the past three years, we've been growing the Woolwich Open Exhibition. 2025 marked our fourth year as we invite studio holders who plan to open their studio over the weekend to submit one piece to the gallery. All submissions are accepted. It's a great way to showcase the pieces created here, and hopefully provides visitors with a focus when exploring the site.
