We had hundreds through our doors as part of 2024 Open House Festival helping celebrate London’s housing, architecture and neighbourhoods. Each year, we join the festival to explore Grow’s history, heritage and contemporary context.

We’ve worked with Signature Brew since 2017 and last month, we were lucky enough to bring some of the Grow team down for an in-person tour, to see how things work at their brewery, and discuss our most exciting collaboration yet - Grow’s own birthday beer!

As part of Grow’s 10-year anniversary celebrations, we caught up with Marcia Carr, the driving force behind ‘Girlz B Like’, a trailblazing premier all-female, vinyl-only DJ collective and event series hosted at Grow since March 2022. We delve into the depths of her journey, exploring the origins of ‘Girlz B Like’, the challenges she's overcome, and the inspiring vision that propels her forward.

As we mark our 10th anniversary, we find ourselves at a pivotal juncture. While we celebrate a decade of memories shared with partners and patrons, we also confront a sobering reality: without immediate investment in our long-term sustainability, our journey may end prematurely.
