New cultural venue to arrive in former Tottenham Ikea

Drumsheds, which will host fashion shows, music events and ‘brand activations’, claims to be ‘London’s largest culture space of its kind’

A new cultural venue is set to open in a warehouse which was formerly Tottenham’s Ikea.

Drumsheds will occupy the currently disused 608,000sqft space in Meridian Water from September ‘with the objective to always inspire, connect and create massive impact through music, culture and space.’

Run by Broadwick, who also manage Printworks, Beams, and Depot Mayfield, the new venue promises to host a programme of arts, music, culture and community events.

The venue, which is north of Tottenham in Enfield borough, has a capacity of up to 15,000 people. Broadwick have said they will leave the original layout and features of the warehouse ‘intact’.

Simeon Aldred, director of strategy at Broadwick, said: “Broadwick’s mission has always been to build brands that deliver unrivaled, live experiences that create real impact. We are proud to announce DRUMSHEDS, set to be London’s most impactful cultural space of its kind, set across 608,000 sqft in North London. We want Drumsheds, like all the spaces we create, to be new centres of cultural gravity that provide the basis for human connection. A connection that people crave now more than ever.”

The opening programme for Drumsheds is soon to be announced.
