Riverside Studios Survey

The new Riverside Studios opens in 2018. We would like to hear your views to help shape access for all.

Following a three-and-a-half-year redevelopment, Riverside is due to reopen on its original site next to Hammersmith Bridge in Spring 2018.  Housing three state-of-the-art studios, a 200 seat cinema, a 50 seat screening room, rehearsal room, community events space and restaurants and bars looking out onto the river, Riverside Studios will be a major new centre for performance which builds on its heritage while looking to the future of live and digital arts.

Recently, Riverside Studios received first stage funding from the Heritage Lottery Fund to create a brand new in-house archive facility which will enable access to an array of materials and stories that have never been seen or heard before. There will also be an exciting programme of heritage-related activities on offer that will add a new dimension to Riverside Studios, reaching out to audiences of all ages.

As part of this exciting project we are seeking your input. This survey is an opportunity for you to share your thoughts and have your say. Whether you live in or near the London borough of Hammersmith and Fulham, already know and love Riverside Studios, or have never been but have an interest in the arts, or cultural and heritage activities, your voice is important to us.

Please complete our short survey here: http://www.smartsurvey.co.uk/s/Communitygroups/ You can also opt in to our prize draw to win £50 worth of high street vouchers.

Thank you for taking the time to contribute. We look forward to drawing inspiration from the information you provide.
