YAAD Black History Month Clubhouse

By purchasing a YAAD October BHM Residency Membership, you agree to the following:

Your membership gives you access to YAAD's home for October — co-working, makerspace equipment, lounge space, and our full BHM programme of workshops and events. Tuesday to Saturday, 10am-10pm; Sunday, 11am-5pm. Some equipment may be temporarily unavailable when it's off-site for a corporate workshop booking — we'll give as much notice as we can.

Full Access members' free studio time of up to 4 hours at Pirate Studios is subject to availability and is not guaranteed for the full month — we'd recommend booking your slot as early as possible.

Our hours are based on expected usage and may change during October depending on how the space is actually being used. We'll always give members as much notice as possible of any change.

YAAD is a 25+ space. Only purchase a membership or tickets if you are 25 or over. No refunds will be given for lack of adherence to this policy.

This is a one-off payment covering your membership for October only. Sign-ups are reviewed and approved individually; you won't be charged until your membership is approved. You can cancel at any time before your membership is approved with no charge taken.

Membership, day pass and event ticket payments already taken are non-refundable. Please make sure the purchase is right for you before signing up; we're happy to answer any questions at 

YAAD's makerspace includes equipment such as sewing machines, a Cricut machine, hot glue guns and a heat press. By using any YAAD equipment, you acknowledge that some tools carry inherent risk of injury (including burns, cuts or similar), and you agree to use them at your own risk and in line with any guidance provided on-site. YAAD is not liable for injury or damage arising from equipment use, except where caused by our negligence.

This October, YAAD is based in Hammersmith. The exact venue is subject to change until contracts are finalised — if it does change, it will remain within Zone 2, in the W, NW or SW London postcode areas.

All workshops and events are subject to change, including cancellation, rescheduling, or facilitator changes. We'll always give members as much notice as possible.

Some Friday evening events require a £10 no-show hold when booking. This isn't a ticket price — it's fully refundable and is only kept if you don't check in.

Full Access (£60) members who sign up by 30 September can (1) bring a friend for free on one evening of their choosing during October, excluding Fridays and (2) the first 24 people to sign up also receive a free Black Tech Fest 2026 Day + Party ticket. Both offers apply once per member and are non-transferable.

Day passes are non-refundable and follow the same 25+ policy as membership. Day pass holders are covered by the same photography/videography consent and equipment terms set out in these terms and conditions.

YAAD events may be photographed and filmed for community and promotional use. By attending, you consent to being captured in event photography and video content. If you have specific concerns, please let us know on the door and we'll do our best to accommodate you.

Your membership covers the duration of the October residency (1-31 October).

We'll use your details to contact you about YAAD events and updates. We won't share your information with third parties without your permission.

'Yaad' is a term of endearment for 'home' in Jamaican Patois and is used to describe one's house, roots and comfort.

This Black History Month, we’re bringing together Black women working across music and entertainment for a conversation about their journeys and the influence and impact of Black women, on stage, in the studio and behind the scenes.

We’ll hear personal stories, talk openly and make space for your questions.

Panel starts at 6:30pm. Come early and get settled.

After the panel, stick around, meet the people in the room and enjoy the music.

We’re also celebrating women behind the decks, with a chance for you to play at our open decks after the panel. 

Wanna play? Sign up for a 20-30 minute slot when reserving your spot.

Tickets are free and include a complimentary welcome drink by Windrush 1027.

£10 is held in case of a no-show or late cancellation. It’s released when you show up!

We're a new non-profit CIC building a clubhouse for the Culture and the Curious: a multifunctional makerspace, co-working hub and third space for over-25s in West London. We ran 29 creative workshops and events over the summer, but you don't have to call yourself a creative to join us.

From the corporate mandem to app founders, filmmakers to marketing associates, hobbymaxers to designers - everyone's welcome, and you deserve to be here.

This is our first month-long residency and our first Black History Month. Expect a warm and sophisticated space that smells like Oud and is inspired by Caribbean and African interiors.
