FUSEBOX
FUSEBOX is a creative playground in Kingston, a place for young people to produce work, try new things, learn, share and develop their talents.
The venue is available for hire and offers a flexible, open-plan space steeped in local heritage. It houses the footings of the original Kingston Bridge and a medieval Undercroft.
FUSEBOX remains closed due to extensive flood damage and will not reopen until at least January 2026.
On Tuesday 17 June 2025, FUSEBOX suffered a major internal flood caused by drainage issues linked to premises above. Sadly, just weeks later, a second flood occurred in mid-July, further compounding the damage and significantly delaying recovery.
Since then, we’ve been working closely with insurance partners, the local council, and other stakeholders to assess the full extent of the impact and agree a path forward. Due to the complexity of repairs, ongoing insurance processes, and the need to ensure full safety of the venue, we now anticipate that reopening will not be possible until early 2026.
In the meantime, we’ve paused all new bookings and activity at FUSEBOX. We’re working hard to relocate some of our programmes to alternative spaces in Kingston — including Mindful Art Sessions and FilmBox— and will share updates via our What’s On page and social media.
We know how important FUSEBOX is to our community, and we’re heartbroken not to be able to welcome you back just yet. Thank you for your continued patience, support, and understanding as we work through this incredibly challenging period.

We can’t wait to reopen stronger, safer, and more inspiring than ever.
