Chloe Florence's upcoming project · arriving in 2027
sanctuary
a wider creative world.
An Evening in the Sanctuary is a kind of sacred limbo. A space with no pressure to perform, impress, or be anything beyond who you are.
Curated by Chloe Florence, the night celebrates women who create, across disciplines and stages of their careers.
Sanctuary 01 was the first in-person gathering inside this wider world, at 5 Poets Corner, Woodstock on 30 September 2026, from five until nine.
Entry is free and so are the drinks. The evening raises funds for organisations working to combat femicide.
the sanctuary
Sanctuary is the wider creative world around Chloe Florence's music, art, writing, community, performances and physical gatherings. A place for reflection, truth, connection, and release.
A space of awareness rather than escape. Somewhere to reconnect with yourself, accept what is unfinished, and exist without judgement.
There is nothing to prove here. We are all works in progress.
why
Sanctuary 01 was a fundraiser.
Entry is free and the drinks are on the house. Guests who want to give can give, in support of organisations working to combat femicide. Nobody is asked, and nobody is counted.
We are still choosing which organisations the night supports. We would rather choose carefully than quickly, and they will be named before the doors open.

the venue
the world
The room before the room. A reading of how the evening is built: linen overhead, low light, and work on the walls. Wander it the way you would wander the real thing.
