Printworks will reopen in 2026, organisers announce

"Delighted that there is an exciting future ahead for Printworks..."

Just days after shutting its doors following a final run of shows, Printworks organisers Broadwick Live have announced they expect the venue to return in some form within 3 years.

The iconic venue was forced to close down due to wider redevelopment plans in the Surrey Quays area, which would see new luxury flats, offices, and restaurants built in its place. But venue organisers have now revealed that they're hopeful for the reopening of Printworks in the near future on the same redeveloped site.

“We are delighted to announce that Printworks hopes to return in three years and that we will continue to work with our partners at British Land to create the future cultural venue that retains the essence of the iconic Press Halls,” Broadwick’s Director of Strategy, Simeon Aldred, announced yesterday.

Coined ‘Printworks 2.0’, the next chapter in the venue's legacy would kick off in 2026 with the promise to keep in similar styling of Printworks’ current industrial space. “Printworks has brought lasting impact to our scene, to our city, to artists and our local community,” Aldred said.

"The future Printworks venue aims to build on this, bringing together all the best in all electronic music and visual arts, both as well as hosting some of the world's best orchestras, ballet companies and other art forms”.

London’s Night Czar Amy Lamé has endorsed the new announcement, stating: “delighted that there is an exciting future ahead for Printworks”.
