Finchley Lakeside

On Saturday November 11, the five-storey Finchley Lakeside will open to the public for the first time. Once a dull office block, the building has been transformed into a temporary cultural hub, and is introducing itself to north London with two days of music and art. Over two days, the complex will be crammed with all sorts of cultural goings-on for the totally free Light+Flight Festival. Meander around the site and you’ll come cross the huge participatory artwork ‘Ascendance’, a live listening session with Voices Radio, a showcase by Art Against Knives, a ceramics workshop and an exhibition exploring Barnet’s rich heritage. Don’t miss the DJ sets from south London collective Touching Bass or the live performance by Youth Music 2024 Producer of the Year and Little Simz’s bassist Marla Kether.
