About the event
Tickets on sale from 10am Tuesday 16th December.
We're excited to be taking part in Independent Venue Week 2026! Following on from a successful IVW last year we're thrilled to once again be taking part in this UK wide celebration of grassroots music and venues.
What’s even more special is that this year our very own shop is an official venue!
Join us for an exciting week long programme of events featuring:
Monday 26th January - Bryde
Bryde, also known as Sarah Howells, is an artist whose work has captivated fans for nearly two decades. From her early days with Halflight and Paper Aeroplanes, she has evolved into a remarkable solo artist. We are thrilled to announce that she will be performing at our venue next month, and we eagerly anticipate welcoming her to our humble abode.
