  • What a blast this past weekend was! We want to extend a MASSIVE thank you to everyone who came along to make Here Comes The Sun 2024 the busiest festival we've had to date. And a big thank you to our food and drink partners who made it the cool weekend that it was: Power Crust Pizza Camouflage Cafe Bearded Foodie and of course, Bexley Brewery The musicians who were here all serenaded us - there was so much talent on one stage over the three days. We can't tag all of you - but THANK YOU for being here and bringing so much energy. And of course - thank you to all of the volunteers who helped us with all the background tasks. It means so much! Our events programme at The Exchange is community run - and we would love to hear from you about any events that you might like to put on. Music / art classes / dance workshops / literally anything else in between. Please head to our 'plan an event' page below to fill us in on your idea - we would love to chat to you about how to facilitate it. If you need a hand, we have a Development Lab workshop on 20 June for anyone who needs support with their idea. https://lnkd.in/dwf4-7-F
