Woolwich Works are delighted to take part in the National Trust's Heritage Open Days.
Our architectural award-winning, Grade II and II* listed heritage buildings date back over 300 years and have some amazing stories to tell!
Woolwich Works has welcomed King George III, housed a firework factory and a theatre, and even the Royal Artillery Band! Always evolving, the venue is now a multi-faceted event space at the heart of our community with a wide variety of programming including commercial hires, workshops, live music, dance, comedy, café, resident artistic companies, fun for families, and more!
Join us at Woolwich Works as we celebrate Heritage Open Day with a brimming programme of activity, for all ages, taking place across the building.

All events are free to attend, but some require booking. Please see our full programme of events by clicking the links below.

SKETCH THE SITE!

Head to the Courtyard, the heart of Woolwich Works, where you can grab a pencil and paper and sketch the site. You don’t need to be an artist to take part - we welcome all ages and abilities. Take your work home, or display it in our Workers' Bar.

All day, free, no booking required

BEAN FEAST!

Our cafe will be serving up delicious bean-based yummy dishes to mark Heritage Open Day. The term "Beanfeast" dates back to 6 July 1773, when King George III arrived at Woolwich by barge and proclaimed an annual holiday after enjoying an open-air feast of beans and bacon. Our modern Beanfeast menu will include vegetarian options!
