The Old Fire Station is a vibrant community building in the heart of Stoke Newington and is home to a number of charities and not-for-profit groups and organisations that provide services for the benefit the local people of Hackney. It is also a place where local people can run and attend community classes and events, and somewhere for you to host a children’s party, family gathering or special event. It has been a community centre since 1982
Get to know more about what goes on here at our amazing, grassroots community building that served as a working Firestation from 1886 until the late 1970's and opened as a community centre in 1982 after local campaigning.
All ages welcome, there will be music and games, tasty-pay what you can- seasonal food and drink as well as informal, behind the scenes building tours, and archive materials on display.

We will be running impromptu building tours during the course of the event; please note this will be over a number of different levels, including one narrow staircase; as there are some uneven flooring surfaces, please wear sensible footwear ( no high heels)
