Community Events and Activities at Kitty’s Launderette.
One of our core principles is to create an accessible, welcoming social space for everyone in our diverse local community. Whether you are a regular washing/drying customer or not been to us before, please join us!
Kitty’s Launderette encourages you to socialise in the space as long as you like, stay a while on the comfy benches, have a cup of tea and a natter or use the Wi-Fi and listen to the relaxing hum of the machines.
We have a regular program of activities that happen every week when the launderette is open such as Knitting Club, Tea and Toast and writers group. As well as special programs of events and activities organised by our team and trusted local partners.
Our creative program seeks to have the lowest barriers to entry and the highest aspirations for our community. We organise and host creative and social activities which are appealing and relevant to our local community, while also stretching perceptions, introducing new ways of thinking, areas of interest and skills.
Previously we have hosted writing workshops, live music, kids storytimes, Street theater, art workshops, board game nights, recycled textile crafts, social history talks and Film Nights.

“FISH TANK (2009)
A film that claimed the Jury Prize at Cannes, Fish Tank is about a young girl who feels isolated from her peers, and frustrated at the world around her. Much like the ‘Angry Young Men’ trope of earlier kitchen sink dramas, Mia is unable to control her temper. To escape from council estate life, she finds solace in learning hip hop routines and dancing to her Walkman. There’s also mums new boyfriend, who seems to take a special interest in her passions...
By the fantastic Andrea Arnold, who directed one of our favourite releases from last year: Bird.
There’ll be an introduction of the film and its place in the canon of British Social Realism!
Next Wednesday the 12th, at Kitty’s Laundrette.
doors at 7pm.
Tickets by donations + more info from the link in our bio.”
