New downtempo, ambient and experimental venue opens in East London

Gloves Off will be open from Wednesdays to Sundays.

A new open-air venue called Gloves Off has opened in Hackney, East London.

“Physically and musically connected” to Hackney venue The Glove That Fits, Gloves Off will “provide an outdoors sanctuary to rest your head every week” with programming that focuses on downtempo, ambient and experimental music and “sounds from local crews and selectors”.

Equipped with a Funktion-One system, Gloves Off has “an expanded drinks menu” and will host food pop-ups from rotating vendors.

The venue is open from 5pm to late on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, 12pm to 1pm on Saturdays and 12pm to 10pm on Sundays. Entry is free every day. Find out more about its events here.
