EVENTS!
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.

Film Screening: One Day at a Time
Join Anfield People’s Cinema for a screening of One Day a Time (2022, Dir. Paul Chambers)
About: Damien John Kelly House, catering to men in recovery, opened to significant opposition in 2019. Within a short space of time, the abstinence-based recovery living centre had changed the hearts and minds of the local community. Its residents channel their recovery through activity, from team sports to photography, writing, filmmaking and other artistic pursuits. Among them is Sam. A short film about his issues with addiction is the entry point for this portrait of the centre and those who have benefited from it. It highlights how recovery is most effectively achieved through engagement and community interaction.
We will be joined for a post screening Q and A by the producer of the film, Sam Batley. Sam Batley is a multidisciplinary artist, socially engaged photographer and writer based between Liverpool and Barnsley.
Date: Friday 26th September
Time: 6:30 PM – 9:30 PM
Location: Kitty’s Laundrette, 77 Grasmere Street, L5 6RH

Clothes Swap
Swap not shop in a day of community fun!
We’re bringing back our clothes swaps! Donate your pre-loved items and browse for some new-to-you pieces to refresh your wardrobe. It's a fun, sustainable way to update your style.
How it works:
You can drop a maximum of up to 10 items to add to the swap between 21st July 2025 - 4th August 2025 (We will not be able to accept donations before/after this time period)
In return you will receive a swap token for each item you donate.
The clothes will be washed by Kitty’s leaving them freshened up and ready for the swap.
You can then use these swap tokens to take items donated by others at our Clothes swap event on 9th August at Kitty’s.
Any clothes that are not taken on the day will be donated to our local charity partners.
During the event there will be refreshments and a place to relax and (fingers crossed) enjoy the sun!

After the play we will hear from John Hutchinson, who himself was part of the LSAG, who will provide an update on what the co-op looks like today and also give the audience a chance to ask any questions.
Limited tickets are available so be sure to book them here
