We l

ike to think of the Barbican as more than a venue, but a place where you can engage with other arts lovers through our exciting and inspiring events at the Centre – and also on our pages! Whether it be our performances, concerts, exhibitions, events, our staff or our restaurants, we love hearing from our friends about how we’re doing, what you’re enjoying or how you think we could improve – so we encourage you to post any questions or comments on our Wall. If you want to post about your own Page, or advertise an event that is not related to the Barbican or our partners, unfortunately we do not allow this and we will remove your post. We look forward to chatting with you soon in the Barbican online community!

This continues to shape the city’s music today, and can be heard in the work of Ben LaMar Gay, one of its most distinctive contemporary voices.
