What a response for The Happiness Experiment!

Professor Dolan has been "been blown away by the public's willingness to help us measure happiness in exciting new ways."

All data gathered is totally anonymous, so no worries there ... just a bit of science and a lot of smiles.

Plus, we've now got the awesome Lizzie Curious joining the party - she'll be delivering a banging hour set before Fatboy Slim delivers three hours of feel-good beats.

Thu 4 Sep now sold out, final tickets for Wed 3 Sep here - https://ow.ly/Iv1w50WKOO6

What Is Spatial Audio?

Check out our latest blog to find out more!

We first experienced spatial audio at TOM when our friends at d&b audiotechnik brought the Soundscape system for a test run last year, and it blew our little socks off.

We're so thankful to have this amazing setup back here for one week during our run of Record Box 360 Listening Sessions in September. State-of-the-Art tech in our little Grassroots venue - it's the kind of collaboration that makes the collective hearts sing.

Hope you all can come down and experience this first-hand.

What exactly is spatial audio and how does it differ from regular ‘surround sound’ experiences? We’re here to explain why our spatial audio experiences are so special.

Discover Sarah, the latest cinematic offering from Sponsored Arts For Education (S.A.F.E. Kenya). This poignant coming-of-age film invites viewers into the world of a young Maasai girl as she navigates the complexities of love, tradition, friendship, and family during her formative teenage years.

Having garnered significant attention since its premiere at the Pan African Film Festival in Los Angeles this February, followed by its national debut in Nairobi and widespread community screenings across Kenya, Sarah now arrives in the UK.

This event holds a unique opportunity to view the film and also to hear from the film's creators and those implementing its vital outreach. Beyond the screen, Sarah is integral to Sarah's Movement, a transformative initiative dedicated to building crucial safe spaces for survivors of Gender-Based Violence (GBV) and spearheading the fight to end GBV in Kenya and East Africa.

This event is FREE ENTRY, full info and bookings on our website.

100's of people going through VR headsets? Check.

Turn the whole venue into a digital forest? Check.

Put our venue on the map? Super Check!

None of this would've been possible without the amazing Marshmallow Laser Feast (MARSHMALLOW LASER FEAST) MLF took audiences on a multisensory journey through three of their most innovative works as part of the experience. We loved working with them on this exciting project.
