About us
Watermans is changing. Not stopping.
In 2024, we closed our Brentford arts centre ahead of a planned move to a new building in central Brentford.
In the meantime, Watermans is presenting work across Hounslow — at Bell Square, partner venues and other locations — while developing our future home.
Watermans is a social enterprise and an independent charity. This means that any money we make is ploughed back into providing events and opportunities to take part for the whole community.
You can find out about our income streams, board of trustees and much more on the Charity Commission website here.
Watermans believes it isn’t just important to reach audiences, but to encourage audiences to take part in the Arts too. This idea drives everything we do.
Watermans is passionate about taking arts and culture outside to places where people naturally gather, such as at the outdoor venue we operate in Hounslow: Bell Square. Or seeking out new audiences in places where you don’t usually expect to see the Arts, such as in parks, pubs, squares and canals.
