The Chewstick Culture Hub at 81 Front Street was impacted by the fire that began early Thursday morning July 21, 2016 in a nearby alleyway. A damage assessment will take place when the fire is completely extinguished and the building is deemed safe for entry. We will release more information when possible. We are grateful to the Bermuda Fire & Rescue Service for their brave response. Until further notice, all events scheduled to take place at the Culture Hub are cancelled.
