We’ve been open for six months, summer’s here and it’s time to take stock of what we’ve achieved. Over 13,000 people have been to see us and, if you’re not one of them, what are you waiting for?
Call into the Shop on Gloucester Green to pick up something unique and handmade and take a look at the work of up and coming artists and illustrators in our Gallery. This season’s programme of events includes three new plays, the launch of a swinging jazz album as well as our dance, pilates and yoga classes…
We also invite you to make a special trip on a Tuesday for improvised jazz, performance poetry or a showcase of new theatre. Or you could just call in to have a look at this beautifully refurbished building and have an ice cream in the Crisis Skylight Café.
See you soon!
