Together they host a wide variety of art exhibitions and public participation activities for visitors.

They can explore this former clubhouse of Hong Kong Yacht Club in a funny and different way.
Highlight of the night is the brand new public programmes for "Oi! Night Walk". Through the mix of drama, dance performance, sound and story-telling, participants will understand more about the history of Oi! and its surrounding community in an immersive journey.
