What Is Printworks?
Printworks is a multipurpose nightclub and events hall located in Rotherhithe, South London. This venue is located in the former Harmsworth Quays printing plant. From 1989-2012 this printing plant published some of the UK’s largest newspapers such as the Daily Mail and Evening Standard. Today it has been renovated with state of the art light, laser, and audiovisual systems that have made unlike any other venue in the world. The acoustics in this abandoned warehouse paired with its world class production has created an industrial oasis for dance music fans.
This venue hosts 2 different stages. The main stage called the Presshalls includes the largest production of the venue and considered its crown jewel. With 16 meter high ceilings and over 3300 square kilometers this space has been exceptional for live events. Over the years artists such as Matteo Milleri of Tale of Us have utilized this stage for unforgettable performances.
Additionally, Printworks includes a smaller stage called Inkwells for a more intimate setting. This stage consists of beaten concrete pillars, exposed pipework, and low ceilings that offer fans a true rave experience. Furthermore with just over 1000 square kilometers of space and limited production live techno music flourishes here. Rising artists such as Patrick Mason have defined what it means to be underground here.
