**A journey through music, culture and iconic photography.** 🥁 This meetup takes us to Andy Earl x Bankside Yards, a major photography exhibition showcasing the work of acclaimed photographer and filmmaker Andy Earl. Set inside the newly opened Victorian railway arches on London’s South Bank, the exhibition brings together striking portraits, landscapes and music photography spanning four decades. **We will meet outside the exhibition.** Tickets are free but a booking is required, [please book for Saturday 27th at 2pm here.](https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/andy-earl-x-bankside-yards-tickets-1987689833800?aff=oddtdtcreator) [More info about the exhibit here.](https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/andy-earl-x-bankside-yards-tickets-1987689833800?aff=oddtdtcreator) 📸 Featuring images of cultural icons including David Attenborough, Johnny Cash, Madonna, Pink Floyd and The Rolling Stones, the exhibition explores the intersection of art, music and visual storytelling through Earl’s distinctive cinematic style. From surreal compositions to intimate observations, the works offer a fascinating glimpse into the creative vision behind some of popular culture’s most memorable images. ☕️ After exploring the exhibition, we’ll continue the afternoon with a relaxed stroll along the South Bank, with the option to stop for a coffee, drink or bite to eat nearby. Everyone welcome 🙂 Important to note: 1. We typically socialise at cafés after the exhibit, nice, independent ones, not chains and not at pubs. If the event is late on a Saturday we go to a nice bar/pub for drinks after. This meetup is inclusive and everyone is welcome to join. 2. If you get there before everyone and you're not sure what to do or where we are, post a comment on here and I will let you know our whereabouts. 3. Once we go in we may separate, feel free to explore the exhibit by yourself, we don't have to be together. Some people like chatting to others while exploring and other people prefer to be with their own thoughts. You are welcome to express yourself and do whatever makes you feel comfortable. 4. If you are late or if you've booked for an earlier or later time don't worry just go in and you'll find us inside. Keep an eye on the comments as I'll be posting updates.

People making art outdoors in a north London community garden, last Friday of the month. You turn up after work, find a spot, and make something for a couple of hours. Bring whatever you like to work in, paint, pencils, clay, a journal, knitting, or use the materials there. Nobody's running it as a class, so do your own thing, with a lot growing around you to work from. Good one to come to alone, plenty will. Bring a bottle if you want a drink while you work. Free.
