An arts centre will celebrate its tenth birthday next week with the launch of a fundraising campaign.

Artsdepot, in Nether Street, North Finchley, is aiming to raise £180,000 for the development of a new ‘creation space’, which will include a children’s play area, a meeting room and space for workshops and classes.

The birthday will be marked with a series of performances throughout the next few weeks.

Chief executive Tracy Cooper said: “It’s been an amazing ten years and we’re grateful to everybody who has supported artsdepot.”
