Creative Unblock - For Illustrators (BREW)

Join the Leeds illustrator meet-up, Brew, to bust the winter creative block.

January and February are slow, hibernation months, and it can be hard to feel inspired. So for our meet-up this month, we’ll be doing some fun exercises to beat the creative block. Come along for a relaxed evening of activities and a chance to chat with other illustrators. Who knows, you might leave with ideas for a new creative project!

Hollybush Plant Sale & Rhubarb Fayre

Join us for our annual plant sale and stock up on a range of edible and ornamental plants grown by the Hollybush Project and Health and Wellbeing teams, plus handmade crafts and woodwork.

We'll also be celebrating Hollybush's rhubarb history with a Rhubarb Fayre, which includes an exhibition, film and music, plus kids activities and lots of rhubarb treats to sample.

Hollybush Potato Day & Seed Swap

A Potato Day is an event where you can buy a wide variety of seed potatoes, all sourced from specialist suppliers. Potatoes are sold individually, so you’re not restricted to growing a lot of one type as you would be if you were buying from a shop or seed company.

We'll have 16 varieties of potatoes for sale, including 1st and 2nd earlies, mains, salad potatoes, unusual and blight resistant varieties.

Bring along your unwanted seeds to swap for something new-to-you in our amazing seed swap.

Lesbian Line - Book Talk + Q&A

As part of Queer History Club we are thrilled to welcome Elizabeth Lovatt to talk about her book, Thank You for Calling the Lesbian Line.

Thank You for Calling the Lesbian Line is a brilliantly original exploration of queer history based on call logs from a 90s lesbian phone helpline. With warmth and humour, Elizabeth Lovatt reimagines the women who both called and volunteered for the Lesbian Line in the 1990s, whilst also tracing her own journey from accidentally coming out to disastrous dates to finding her chosen family.
