November is upon us, and Brewery Arts is a buzzing hub of activity right now with a ton of live events, creative learning for all ages and a new Winter menu in the restaurant.
Our family entertainment season continues with Mr Sleepybum – a silly, slapstick, interactive show that kids go crazy for.
Live Music this month is as eclectic as ever, with Big Country taking us by storm with their big sound and Gary Stewart’s Graceland recreates Paul Simon’s iconic Graceland album in an incredible live performance. Blazin’ Fiddles return with their super talented lineup whilst Talisk, one of the most talked-about folk bands of the 21st century tear up the genre in the way only they know how for a not-to-be-missed show.
