Alongside our own exhibitions, cinema screenings, workshops, talks and events, Firstsite is proud to host a wide range of activities from local organisations, groups and creative partners. These events are organised independently by those hiring our spaces, and reflect the rich mix of ideas and interests across our community.
If you’re interested in using our spaces for your own event, find out more on our Venue Hire page.
