The Exchange, Erith

The Exchange is a community-owned arts & crafts organisation that uses the heritage of Erith’s Old Library - as a space designed and built by local people for the benefit of local people - to inspire new programmes and activities.

This includes projects and activities that invite community participation including our craft production workshops and a community-driven events programme.

A versatile and vibrant venue, our unique space can also be hired for everything from meetings and workshops to private parties and cultural events.

We are also a great place to visit! We have a beautiful garden, designed by award-winning garden designer Sarah Price, a “Town Square” where we host regular exhibitions, events and activities, a cafe run by Greenwich Pantry and a shop - The Garden Room - that sells a gorgeous range of unique and handmade crafts as well as houseplants, homewares, books and gifts.
