/ The LIT.ME Calendar ▾
Our editors keep the LIT.ME Calendar by hand: a considered diary of Hellenic life, culture and society in London. Galas, concerts, exhibitions, theatre, cultural gatherings and club nights are selected individually, with dates, venues and details checked against the organiser's own listing before they appear.
Selection matters. We follow Hellenic institutions, cultural organisations, diaspora associations, galleries, venues and promoters, alongside the artists and productions arriving from Greece and across the wider Hellenic world. Only occasions we believe are worth knowing about make the calendar.
The diary is reviewed continuously as dates approach, with completed occasions retained in the archive. It is not intended to record everything, but to offer a discerning view of the Hellenic occasions in London that deserve a place in the diary.
LIT.ME keeps the calendar because Hellenic culture is part of the world the house inhabits. For private occasions, collaborations and gatherings of your own, enquiries are welcomed through the house.
