Important update from Kingswood Arts:
After a couple of wonderful years working with our community, Kingswood Arts is entering administration. While we navigate this change, some activities, especially free ones, are paused until the new operator is fully settled at Kingswood House.

✅ Gems drama classes and Rebel Arts workshops continue as usual.
✅ Our beloved Community Kitchen is still running every Tuesday at 6:30pm.
✅ Paid events like weddings, conferences, and birthdays are still going ahead - we’re working hard to ensure no disruption.

Today’s Community Kitchen is extra special: meet the new operators and share your thoughts. Fatma, our fabulous volunteer and Kingswood Estate resident, is preparing a delicious Algerian meal (meat & veggie options!).

We know there’s confusion and mixed messages out there. Some of our team are still working to support a smooth transition and keep you informed.
Thank you for being part of this journey.

Some of you who have visited Kingswood and seen our Palm Court space may have wondered what the curious tall wooden objects with squiggly lines are… That’s actually the De Lacy Sound System!

are a music collective who’ve been hosting events here for over a year, raising money that helps to support Kingswood’s activities.

Their parties are about sharing music and building community. Each event includes a big, delicious vegan dinner for everyone - fuel before the dancing starts!

Music spans soul, funk, jazz, disco, latin, afro and dub - always deep, soulful and groovy.

Parties run 5pm–midnight, with dinner served soon after doors open.

Discounted tickets are available for Kingswood Estate residents and Kingswood Arts patrons.

The next party is this Saturday 4th October!
