Canvas, a ‘next-generation’ entertainment venue and late-night dining spot, has given us a look behind the scenes ahead of its official opening this Friday. The Oxford Road venue will bring together live music, community focused events, wellbeing and food and drink, and is being billed as a ‘first-of-its-kind venue for the city.
The latest addition to the ongoing Circle Square neighbourhood comes from the team behind two of London’s most established music venues, Oval Space and Pickle Factory. Inside, it features a 600-capacity subterranean club space, which will play host to live gigs and panel talks, alongside a viewing platform for members, and a late-night bar open until 4am every day.
A quick dash back upstairs, and a stylish restaurant and bar awaits, which has been brought to life by the people behind Peru Perdu, a South American restaurant housed within Whitworth Locke hotel. Here, a globally inspired menu of small plates - that are actually pretty sizable - take centre stage, alongside an extensive array of carefully curated drinks, from aperitifs and sundowners to highballs.
