Longplayer: Long Afternoon

Starting this June, the Longplayer Trust will be hosting Long Afternoons, open social events on the last Sunday of every month at the lighthouse at Trinity Buoy Wharf.

What are the Long Afternoons?

The Long Afternoons are open, social events hosted by the Longplayer Trust. We invite you to join us to meet at the lighthouse and listen to Longplayer resonate through the space. We want to reflect with you on the ideas inspired by Longplayer, and how we can connect with deep time from where we are now.

There will be a facilitator for young people (for ages 7 to 12), leading guided activities.

Ticketing and Access

Please note there is limited access to the first floor and lantern room of the lighthouse, via very narrow stairs. Toilets are available on site at Trinity Buoy Wharf. Places are limited to avoid overcrowding. Please book your spot here.

About Longplayer

Longplayer is an everlasting musical composition, repeating once every 1000 years. It began playing at midnight on the 31st of December 1999, and will continue to play without repetition until the last moment of 2999, at which point it will complete its cycle and begin again. Conceived and composed by Jem Finer, it was originally produced as an Artangel commission, and is now in the care of the Longplayer Trust. Longplayer can be heard in the lighthouse at Trinity Buoy Wharf, where it has been playing since it began. It can also be heard at several other listening posts around the world, globally via a live stream on the Internet, through an iOS app and occasional live performances.
