The Experience
What is the OneRoom x Riverside Residency?
The OneRoom x Riverside Residency is a creative space built around live music, conversations, workshops and opportunities to connect. Across the residency, we’ll host a mix of intimate live performances, thought-provoking talks, interactive workshops and informal creative sessions. The space is designed to feel relaxed and welcoming — somewhere you can play, make, talk, listen and think together. You’ll find games, books, creative prompts and hands-on materials throughout the space, giving you plenty of reasons to stay a little longer and get involved.
