Hey look it's our birthday!
To help us celebrate, we’ve invited a bunch of our friends, new and old, for what will be a triple-layer trifle of fun.
With acts playing across the whole venue, we’ll be kicking things off at a mysterious sunny stage, before moving into the front bar, and finally finishing the party in the main room.
FREE ENTRY, of course, because that's what we do.
A rollercoaster of a lineup, every twist and turn will be as unpredictable as the next. Mesmerising, raucous and just straight up party-startin’, this is our biggest show of the year for a reason.
Joining us will be:
Katie Dey
TEK TEK Ensemble
Sweet Whirl
Dianas
Dr Sure's Unusual Practice
Kosmetika
Cofi
CLAMM
+ more to be announced!
A nice alternative to all the other stuff that happens on this date.
Come help us blow our candles out on Tuesday November 5th.
