Led by Charlotte Ivey (abstract artist) and Lana Daubermann (landscape artist), these workshops are designed to inspire painters from beginners to those with more experience. This series of six fortnightly workshops can be booked individually, or as a complete set. All materials are supplied, so all you need to do is turn up (in clothing you don't mind getting paint on!), and be ready to explore.

Following multiple 2025 Green Room Award wins, local eccentrics Pummel Squad are back with a new play about shame, delusion, and the tyranny of normalcy. What starts as one man’s humiliating journey to get his nose back becomes a cacophony of tall-tales, testimonies, disputes and non-sequiturs that’ll all wrap up neatly in the end, they promise. Directed by Katy Maudlin ('Meet Me At Dawn', MTC), 'Marginalia' is a hilarious look at the feelings we push to the margins, and the foibles that are as obvious as the nose on your face. |
