The Listening Room: Wanting – Standard Ticket
Friday 14 August • The Village Table, Croydon
£20.00
Experience Wanting.
Join us for The Listening Room: Wanting, an intimate evening exploring two defining modern albums — Frank Ocean's Channel Orange and Childish Gambino's Because the Internet.
Together, these records explore longing in all its forms: the search for connection, the uncertainty of identity and the quiet distance that can exist between who we are and who we hope to become.
More than a listening party, this is a carefully curated evening where both albums are experienced in full, uninterrupted. Through shared listening, thoughtful hosting and conversation, the music becomes the starting point for reflection rather than simply something playing in the background.
Your Standard Ticket Includes
Admission for one guest
A reserved seat within our intimate 38-person Listening Room
Full uninterrupted playback of both albums
Thoughtfully curated hosting throughout the evening
Opportunities for reflection and conversation
A welcoming community of people who love music as much as you do

Ticket Information
This ticket admits one guest to The Listening Room: Wanting.
With capacity limited to just 38 guests, every evening is intentionally intimate. Advance booking is strongly recommended.
Before You Arrive
To help preserve the atmosphere, we recommend arriving before 7:00 pm.
Once the first album begins, we keep movement through the room to a minimum so everyone can experience the music without distraction. You'll have time between albums to stretch your legs, refresh your drink and continue the conversation before the evening resumes.
