The Makers Edition
Welcome to The Makers Edition, the latest in our Editions series, exploring the culture, creativity and experiences shaping what’s happening across Olympia.
This autumn, we’re celebrating the people who make culture happen.
Craftsmanship takes time, patience and dedication. Across Olympia, you’ll find it in the architecture shaping our estate, taste it in our seasonally crafted menus or our precision-poured drinks and feel it in our events – it’s the people behind every experience.
The Makers Edition puts the people, the process and the thinking behind it all, centre stage.
