Today marks 12 months since we opened the doors to our pilot creative space, Hapworks_00! 🎉 🙌

It's been brilliant to have over 1,250 folk visiting Hapworks_00 for events & programming by our team & others creatively activating the space – including workshops, gigs, exhibitions, coworking & more.
Photographed through the open front doors of Hapworks_00, an audience mill about the room with some still sitting in their seats in rows. At the back of the room, there is a bright blue wall with the Hapworks_00 logo. People gathered in Hapworks_00 for an exhibition. Colourful prints are displayed on the large white walls and on a large central table. A large crowd are gathered in Hapworks_00. They stand in groups, chatting and drinking. Three people sit at a table, working at separate laptops. The window behind them displays part of the Hapworks_00 logo. A table in the foreground has an array of snacks and fruit on it.
