God's House Tower, Town Quay Road, Southampton, SO14 2NY
Join the team at In Focus on Sunday 7th June, 2:30pm – 4pm, for a free Zine Workshop based on the theme of Rags to Riches and the current exhibition at God’s House Tower.
In these free hands-on zine-making workshops, craft your own mini storybook inspired by one of the classic plots. Open to all — no experience needed. See your creations displayed alongside others from In Focus workshops, with the exhibition refreshed each month to explore a different story.
About the workshop
The workshop will draw inspirations from the current exhibition on display at GHT, The House of Revision / The House of Repair by Uma Breakdown, which explores modernity, morality, the politicisation of care and the welfare state.
The Zines created will be on display at God’s House Tower from Friday 5th June – Sunday 6th July 2026.
About the exhibition
The House of Revision / The House of Repair by Uma Breakdown is an exhibition commissioned by ‘a space’ arts for God’s House Tower. The exhibition explores modernity, morality, the politicisation of care and the welfare state.
About 7 Story Plots
“I’ve heard that story before”… You probably have! There are seven classic plots of fiction, but endless ways to tell them.
From March to November 2026, In Focus presents 7 Story Plots — a multi-venue journey unravelling the threads woven through the most legendary tales.
Access and Quiet Spaces
Access to the cafe extension is step free Lower Canal Walk and there is a ramp available should you need it to access the cafe, toilets and rest of the building. The courtyard also has step free access from the corner of Lower Canal Walk and Town Quay road.
GHT is a 25-minute walk from Southampton Central Train station and is on a number of local bus routes. Our closest car parks are Gloucester Square and Mayflower park. This part of the city can get very busy with traffic from the cruise ship terminals at this time of year so please do allow for extra time if you’re driving.
For information on parking and travel please visit the plan your visit page of our website.
If you’d like to familiarise yourself before your visit you can take a virtual tour of the spaces on our website. You’ll also find a visual story so that you know what to expect and how to identify members of the GHT Team.
