a monthly performance art gathering
2026: we’ll be back with ALMANAC in a new format and location later this year. Keep an eye on Instagram or our newsletter for updates!
The series is intended as a way of providing a social space for London’s performance art community to meet (and expand!) and as a regular platform for performance artists to make work. We hope ALMANAC can be a useful space for artists and audiences, especially in these lean times.
This series takes place in Asylum Chapel, a gorgeous, evocative Georgian space, resonant with ideas of time and memory, and practices of sanctuary, belief and justice.
Each event will feature performances from three artists, programmed through invitation and open call. If you are interested in presenting work at ALMANAC, there is more information below.
The first three events are planned for Autumn 2025:
> Sunday 28 September, 3-6pm
> Sunday 2 November, 3-6pm
> Sunday 7 December, 3-6pm
The performances will take place in Asylum Chapel, Peckham. Queens Road Peckham (Overground and National Rail) is a 10 minute walk away and the area is well served by buses on the Old Kent Road.
Address: Caroline Gardens, Asylum Rd, London SE15 2SQ
Access: there are several steps leading into the venue. Ramps are available into the space. There are no accessible toilets onsite.

There will be three performances (15-30 minutes) with a break between each one.
There is seating available, on wooden chairs. The Chapel is an old, stone building. Dress appropriately for the weather.
Drinks (alcoholic and non-alcoholic) will be available on a donation basis. There is an option to donate in exhcange for drinks tokens when booking tickets and we can take donation by card payment at the venue.
There are two toilets at the chapel.
Often, it seems that we need to wait for funding to make anything happen.
In the spirit of independent culture, we are organising ALMANAC without funding - the costs of the event (artist fees, venue, production and documentation) are met through ticket income, with the balance paid from our (v limited) cash reserves.
Tickets are available on a Pay What You Can basis. There are a limited number (30) of £6 tickets available for each event.
We hope most of our audience are able to pay £12 or £16, supporting the lower price tickets and helping us meet the costs of putting the event on.
There’s also a £20 option for those feeling flush! If you are able to pay this, you’re helping us to keep ALMANAC going into the future.
