We can’t wait to welcome The Urban Folk Quartet back to our stage this Saturday! 🔥

They’re this close to selling out, so grab those last few tickets before they’re gone!

Described as “a sizzling hot ensemble,” this powerhouse group fuses Celtic roots with Afrobeat, Indian classical, funk, and rock to create something truly electric.

Don’t miss a night of foot-stomping, fiddle-flying, feel-good folk magic 🎻

Grab your tickets before they dance away...Link in comments.

And you thought you were dramatic? Wait until you meet Mrs Warren.😏

Join us for a relaxed & captioned screening of Mrs Warren’s Profession on Sat 22 Nov, 2.30 pm.

We’re supporting Captioning Awareness Week led by Stagetext, celebrating 25 years of accessible theatre.

A relaxed screening means softer sound, gentle lighting and freedom to move or make noise. Captioned means every word on screen, so you can catch every quip, gasp, and gasp-worthy revelation.

Inclusive, comfortable, and gloriously dramatic.

We’re barking up the right tree for Captioning Awareness Week! 🐾

We’re joining Stagetext to celebrate 25 years of making the arts accessible for 18 million people in the UK who are deaf, deafened or hard of hearing.

Be part of it at tomorrow night’s live captioned performance of Bark Bark, a wildly inventive, delightfully eerie and hilariously human tale told (mostly) from a dog’s point of view. ✨

Expect cameras, puppets and dioramas galore from Buzzcut Productions, turning heads (and wagging tails) across the UK.

Book now! (Link in comments)
