With the nights drawing in, what better place to spend them than a friendly, well-stocked and welcoming bar complete with its own fire?

Well, you’re in luck, because starting this month you can do just that – right here at the centre!

Launching on Tuesday 23rd October, we’ll be opening up the bar on weeknights. All your favourite bottled ales and ciders, as well as our wide selection of lagers, spirits and soft drinks will be available, served up by our friendly volunteers.

And we’re working on having some fun events and activities in the bar, too – quizzes, board games and more are all being feverishly discussed by our team – giving you even more reasons to come and spend time at your favourite independent arts centre.

We’d love to see you at our launch event on the 23rd – complete with free nibbles – and any weeknight after that!
