We're looking for art to display in our Bar as part of our upcoming Feel Good season at TOM.

TOM's Bar will become an extension of the season itself, displaying artwork which celebrates calm, connection and the positive impact of the arts on our wellbeing.

Brief: Art that makes you Feel Good. Whether your work explores nature, community, stillness, joy, reflection or the simple moments that help us reconnect, we'd love to see it.

Details: Selected artwork will be displayed on the walls of TOM's Bar for the duration of the season, giving thousands of visitors the opportunity to experience your work in a welcoming, creative environment. If your artwork is sold, we won't take any commission, every penny goes directly to the artist.

Deadline to apply is 18th of August, to submit, please send an email to [email protected] with your work and dimensions of pieces.

Keyboardist and producer Yoni Mayraz lands at TOM with a live show that sits somewhere between jazz gig and late-night club set.

Touring his latest album Dogs Bark Babies Cry, Mayraz brings a raw, high-energy performance built on groove, tension and release. Recorded live in just three days, the music carries a restless, cinematic edge that really comes alive on stage — shifting from deep, head-nodding rhythms to freer, more exploratory moments.

Backed by a powerhouse rhythm section, this is immersive, full-bodied live music with plenty of bite - equal parts tight, spontaneous and completely absorbing.

It only works if you're here... THE GIFT is back at TOM for 2026!
Wed 2 to Wed 23 December

Part feast, part performance, part choose-your-own-adventure.

As you enter this world of midwinter magic, the cast of brilliant cabaret artists, musicians, clowns and performers will help set the evening in motion… but where it goes is up to you. Every show is completely different, shaped by the people in the room.

Inspired by Berlin’s Social Muscle Club, America’s Burning Man and the intimate theatre of Colombia’s Theatre of the Senses, The Gift is a warm, generous and joyfully chaotic antidote to the usual festive season.

With a beautiful new menu courtesy of our friends at Circa, featuring hearty festive food to be shared between friends old and new.

Tickets: https://www.theoldmarket.com/the-gift/

See you there!
