The Arcola Tent on Ashwin Street
This from http://www.arcolatheatre.com/?cmsId=108&page=Arcola%20Tent via @benjamin
Coming to Ashwin Street (Dalston) this summer!
The PlanTo create an exciting temporary mixed arts temporary venue hosting world-class professional and community events delivered by Arcola Theatre and a wide range of local arts and community organisations. We hope that over the next few years this will evolve in to a permanent extension of the new Arcola Theatre on Ashwin Street which is financially, socially and environmentally sustainable. We need more space because we can not fit enough seats in the existing building to bring the best theatre companies from around the UK.

i went by arcola last week and they said they were still waiting to hear about funding. it would be an awesome thing to have in hackney once it opens. oh and they need volunteers but i haven’t checked that part out yet.

Thanks for reposting @ewebber – I had to rush out. I passed there earlier and they are now constructing the frame.

@janice it’s not a great site to find out anything! I think the best chance you have is the home page http://www.arcolatheatre.com, where there are some events
