What's On Today

Events on Sunday 20th September

“"The Liberties was, and still is, a great place to grow up. Its streets were full of life, both commercial and domestic. The people were talkative and witty. Yet many of its children suffered through heroin, and today the area is no longer a market and trading hub but one defined by digital and technology culture."”

“A hanging, a hanging, gather round for a Hanging!' is the opening lines of this immersive family comedy theatre show, set in 1726. Think Horrible Histories or  Blackadder. Exploring the legends of 18th-century highway robbers, potatoes and inequality. Audiences become jurors, re-enact crimes, and debate verdicts. Blending history with farce. Social commentary and true immersion for the audience. It invites reflection on today's inequalilty—asking is it right? Is it just? To steal from the ultra rich to feed the poor. Funded by Arts Council England with integrated audio description”

“And if you know where to look, they still do. In Craftland, James Fox seeks out Britain’s last great craftspeople – those who are keeping our vanishing trades and traditions alive. Through them, we witness not only the living past but a deeper, more connected way of living today: one that is not yet lost and might still shape our future.”
