Events listed are run by The Lamplighters, or hosted directly by The Lamplighters. Further events at the venue can be found on our Facebook page.
Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Sundays at 5 PM we open our doors for workers to come in and enjoy the space. Donations at the door keep the space open but no one will be turned away for lack of funds. The general room and backroom are available for work use, the recording studio and figure drawing will still require payment. We also have activities during those times that we are super excited to have people join.
