Join us for a special evening celebrating 50 years of Spike Island.
This September, our building comes alive with an evening of art, performance, music and food, marking five decades of artist-led experimentation and community. Discover a vibrant programme of experimental performance and music showcasing talent from the Spike community, including party headliners, former exhibiting artist Olukemi Lijadu (Kem Kem) and Casa Delirium.
Whether you’ve been part of Spike Island’s community for decades or are visiting us for the first time, join us for this milestone celebration of the people, ideas and creative energy that continue to shape Spike Island today. Every ticket helps support the artists, programmes and creative community that make Spike Island what it is today – ensuring the next 50 years of artist-led experimentation can thrive.
