Forests In Motion

A Celebration of International Forest Day.

The forest moves. It breathes. It connects. So do we. We are the forest.

Now, more than ever, gathering and connecting face-to-face is an act of solidarity. This event is a chance to come together, connect, and share ideas in a world where in-person community is more important than ever. Come as you are, and leave with a sense of belonging, re-connection to nature, and a spring in your step!

Chemistry 18: Helen Kay, Sue Wallace-Shaddad, and Ar for Argon

Chemistry is back on Friday 28 March, with another night of poetry and spoken word, two brilliant headliners and our amazing open mic. This time round our headliners are the brilliant Helen Kay (with her sidekick Nigella the hen) and all the way from Suffolk, Sue Wallace-Shaddad.

The events are themed on the elements of the periodic table, so this time it’s element number 18, which is Ar for Argon. The theme is entirely optional, but we hope you might use it as a creative prompt to come up with some new work to reveal on the night.
