Material Matters 2023 at Bargehouse, Oxo Tower Wharf

Bargehouse is an exciting space in London’s lively South Bank and Bankside areas. A vast, untouched five-storey building, in its raw state, Bargehouse is often transformed by creatives for unconventional exhibitions, immersive performance and interactive events.

Bargehouse has a range of different spaces, each offering unique features and quirks. Rooms can be used on their own or in combination, depending on event requirements. The venue is part of the Oxo Tower Wharf development, owned and managed by social enterprise Coin Street, and is surrounded by restaurants, cafés, bars, and 30 innovative contemporary design shops.
