Printworks owners are opening a new 3000 capacity venue in West London
London's White City will gain a new music venue at the end of this year, with the owners of Printworks set to replenish the Grade-II listed Dimco East building.
Exhibition will see Broadwick Live, the team behind Printworks, partner up with Unibail-Rodamco-Westfield to rejunivate the 34,000 sq. ft building located outside White City's Westfield shopping centre.
The new venue will be spread across two floors, with multiple rooms and adaptable spaces expected to host 3000 people, and is included as part of Westfield London's £600m expansion. Exhibition will be used for live music events, exhibitions, corporate showcases, conferences, award ceremonies and community events.
Dimco East building was used as the Acme Factory in the 1988 movie Who Framed Roger Rabbit?, later being occupied as a Transport For London bus station.
Bradley Thompson, Managing Director of Broadwick Live & Venues, says, "Exhibition represents an important moment in the evolution of Westfield London, creating a unique entertainment hub and enhancing the area’s cultural kudos. It will attract and serve not only the local community, but the ever-increasing number of people who rightly view White City as one of the most exciting growth places in the capital. The location is perfect and the building itself is incredible. We are committed to respecting its past and investing in its future; offering fantastic, contemporary experiences against a stunning Victorian backdrop."
