Catalyst Club – Coming to Rockaway Park
Saturday 30th November
Founded in 2004, The Catalyst Club is a monthly event inspired by French salons, old debating societies and the wonderfully odd traditions of gentlemen’s clubs. Over the years it has hosted more than 700 talks on everything from zombie films and Marmite to suffragettes, Spartans, bum-reading and slime mould. The only rule: three speakers, each delivering a 15-minute talk on something they’re truly passionate about – the more unusual or niche, the better.
For the first Catalyst Club at Rockaway Park, we’re joined by:
⭐ Jo (of House of jO) – sharing a talk that promises warmth, curiosity and a perspective you won’t hear anywhere else.
⭐ Dunstan Bruce (of Chumbawamba and Interrobang?!) – bringing his trademark energy, honesty and humour.
⭐ Plus a third speaker to be announced
The evening will be hosted by Dr David Bramwell – not actually a doctor, but very much enjoying the title. Bramwell is a true multi-talent: creator of BBC Radio 3 & 4 programmes, author of The No9 Bus to Utopia and The Haunted Moustache, a Sony Award winner for The Haunted Moustache, and a performer with Oddfellow’s Casino. His events are warm, eccentric and always memorable.
About Rockaway Park
Set in the old quarry at Temple Cloud, Rockaway Park is unlike anywhere else. It’s a thriving arts space filled with studios, sculptures, music, workshops, a vegan café and a community that mixes creativity with a touch of rebellion. Their famous Sunday vegan roasts have become a ritual for locals and visitors alike, and the whole site hums with that “only at Rockaway” atmosphere.
Tickets
Spaces are limited. Come for an evening of ideas, stories, surprises and community in one of the most extraordinary venues in the South West.
