For one night only, the West End Arts Library comes to life with a What Does Not takeover.
On offer: connection, inspiration and creativity. 
Part celebration, part group reflection, we're inviting creatives, humans from all walks of life, and curious Londoners to descend on this hidden gem just off Leicester Square to participate and take in:
Music
Games  
Storytelling 
Art pop-ups
Free cans of beer from Jubel (one per person, first come first serve until stock lasts)
Together, we'll be exploring the loss of third spaces (a social environment where people come together for connection, creativity, and belonging) – and what happens when we create our own.
A reminder that community isn’t lost, it just needs somewhere to meet.
All components and timings are subject to change. By booking tickets to this event you agree to our T&Cs Keep an eye on our Instagram for more details 😏
Note: This is NOT a RAW night. If you're looking for uncensored storytelling with live music and art, then click here to see which RAW dates are coming up.
About West End Arts Library
Down a cobbled alley just off Leicester Square, on the former site of Isaac Newton's residence, is one of the largest music reference libraries. It holds an extensive loan collection of books, scores, performance parts, and sheet music. Including orchestral sets, vocal sets for hire, or reference books and journals ranging from Early Music to NME. (It was formerly known as the Westminster Reference Library)
About What Does Not (WDN)
What Does Not is a female-led culture agency and creative incubator that focuses on fostering genuine human connection and supporting emerging creators of all ages, backgrounds, and neurotypes. We work on purpose-led projects and run immersive events, meetups, and experiences across London.
It's not everyday you get to make noise in a library. Join us to 'disturb the peace' for the good of community.
