We're Launched! (Thank you!)

What an unforgettable evening! I want to extend a heartfelt thank you to everyone who joined us to celebrate the opening of PLAY OFFICE. Your support and enthusiasm made the night truly special.

It was fantastic to see so many of you exploring the space, engaging with the tech demos, and trying your hand at creating limited-edition screenprints with ZooPoo. A special thank you to Society of Cocktails for the excellent drinks that kept the celebration flowing!

We were honored to welcome MP Stephen Morgan and Council Leader Steve Pitt, whose presence underscored the importance of supporting Portsmouth’s vibrant creative and heritage communities.

PLAY OFFICE is here to empower local creatives, blending art, heritage, and innovation in exciting new ways. Seeing so many of you embrace this vision at the launch has us more excited than ever about what’s to come.

Thank you again for being part of this milestone moment. We can’t wait to see what we’ll create together!

Looking Ahead

PLAY OFFICE is just beginning its journey, and the launch was a taste of what’s to come. This space is about fostering growth, not just for individuals but for Portsmouth’s creative landscape as a whole. We aim to be a hub where ideas flourish, where local heritage inspires cutting-edge projects, and where artists feel supported every step of the way.

The event was also a reminder of how important partnerships are. From the Sustainable Conservation Trust to the Historic Quarter and The Mary Rose, the success of this launch wouldn’t have been possible without the shared vision of so many.
