Back in August 2025, the 17Nineteen Society held their first Open Day. We’ve covered events at 17Nineteen previously on ArtyParti - for those who’ve not heard of the building, it was ‘Holy Trinity Church’ established in the year 1719, but over the years reinvented itself primarily as a community arts, heritage, and event space.
The new volunteer-run and volunteer-led society has been established to help ensure the building continues to flourish into the future. Holy Trinity Church is the responsibility of the Churches Conservation Trust as custodians of the building, and 17Nineteen provides volunteer support for the community to access the space.
