Contract Brief: Walworth Living Room Courtyard Programme and Operations (Events)
Brief Published: 15.5.2026
Pembroke House Deadline for expressions of interest: 1.6.2026
Pembroke House is a centre for social action and residential community based in Walworth, SE17. We are seeking a dynamic freelancer to activate our newly opened outdoor Courtyard at the Walworth Living Room, while also maximising the use of capacity within the main building.
Contract Focus
Our focus is to establish the Courtyard at the Walworth Living Room as a premier summer destination through a vibrant social events programme and a high-quality local food offer, while developing a sustainable business model for courtyard activities.
Our focus times for the first stages are Friday evenings and Saturday daytimes/evenings, and we are particularly interested in attracting those living and working locally who are not available during the currently daytime opening hours of the Walworth Living Room, including young professionals and families.
You will have strong foundations to build on, including a strong programme of activities already underway at the Walworth Living Room, a semi-regular pop-up from Kaieteur Kitchen and growing local awareness of the Walworth Living Room as a venue.
Walworth Living Room
The Living Room offers a comfortable and welcoming space where people can drop in, have a cup of tea, and connect with their neighbours. We host a wide range of regular activities—from collage to ESOL classes to brunch to chess/board games—providing accessible and enjoyable ways for people to build relationships.
This regular programme is complemented by workshops, discussions, and creative sessions on topics such as sustainable food systems, local social services, housing rights, community art projects, and responses to current social issues.
The Courtyard
We now have an exciting opportunity to take the Walworth Living Room to the next stage by activating the spacious courtyard through new landscaping, introduction of a new food hatch (created from a converted shipping container) and new connections through to the large activity spaces within the main building. This development will extend the use of the site beyond the building itself, creating a more vibrant and inclusive environment for the community.
The courtyard can be integrated with the indoor spaces - including a large main hall (100 sqm) and a smaller lounge area (45 sqm) - allowing for flexible and simultaneous use across the site. Together, these spaces can support a wide range of activities and events.
The overall aim of this contract is to use these enhanced facilities to attract a broader and more diverse community, establish the Walworth Living Room as a well-known local destination, and create a space where there is always something happening for everyone.
Contract Terms
● Duration: 4 months (with potential for extension).
● Total Fee: £14560 (e.g. 3 days @ £280 per day).
