Grow is a canalside music venue, bar, kitchen and garden in Hackney Wick, home to a carefully curated programme of live music, DJs, cultural events and community-led gatherings.

Our programme has developed a strong identity over the years, with a focus on thoughtful curation, independent artists, grassroots culture, deep listening, dancefloor energy and sounds rooted in community, discovery and connection.

We curate our programme with a long lead time and work closely with regular partners, promoters and collaborators, so opportunities for new external proposals are limited. Before submitting, please spend some time with our current Events Calendar and recent listings to get a clear sense of the music, atmosphere and cultural direction of Grow now.

We welcome thoughtful DIY events, emerging promoters and independent artists, but we are looking for proposals with care, commitment and a genuine interest in making the event work. A strong idea does not need to be glossy or fully established, but it should show clear musical or cultural identity, realistic planning, an understanding of audience, and a reason for happening at Grow.
