“I like parties. They’re so intimate. At small parties there isn’t any privacy”.

Come and join the party as Newham celebrates Libraries Week with homage to this iconic novel. Come along and get swept up in the roaring twenties at one of Jay Gatsby’s infamous parties. Come and listen to and dance with the amazing vintage band the Art Deco Night Owls whilst learning the Charleston and sipping a cocktail or two. Experience a piece of immersive theatre and become your most decadent self as you make a stylish headband or brooch. Or perhaps like the elusive man himself you are just an observer.

Remember, anything goes…

This is an adult only event. Look out for our Libraries week children’s events at our other libraries
