We are entering the autumnal months with a brand-new seasonal programme of Live Events, Stage On Screen, Cinema, and Creative Learning.
From Celtic-folk legends Skipinnish and Gaelic music with a sound-system twist from An Dannsa Dub, to a master of poetry Roger McGough and our very own Spoken Word Open Night, Verbalise, there is a live event for every occasion this September!
