Poisons: the perfect remedy or a recipe for disaster?
This October half-term, we’re brewing up a wickedly fun programme all about the perils – and the perks – of poisons!

Today, there are more than 100 toxic plants growing in the UK alone. So, which fatal flora could be lurking in your garden?
It’s hard to be good all the time. A good mother, a good daughter, a good partner, a good friend, a good person. To be ambitious but not ruthless; a success but not a sell-out. A gentle parent but not a pushover. To be smashing life and make it look easy. The juggle. Suzi is exhausted and she hasn’t even started. This is a stand-up show and a support group!
The Juggle is a brand-new tour from confessional multi-award-winning comedian Suzi Ruffell.

Investigate how Black women carved out their own place in the action hero film genre.
Black women have a unique representative journey in film. Travelling from the servitude of 1915’s The Birth Of A Nation (Dir. D.W. Griffiths), through to the ‘bad mamma’ icons of the Blaxploitation genre, landing on today’s images that fulfil at least some of the archetypes of the action, superhero characteristics.
Theme - Community
This month, our photo social will focus on the theme of community and will be hosted by photographer, and Take It Easy team member, Hannah Platt.
Taking inspiration from the latest exhibition by Hyde Park Art Club - 'Is This What We Have Left?’, we want to explore how photography can be used to document a community, create a sense of belonging, and showcase it's heritage.
