Paul King, the director and co-writer of the Paddington films breathes life into another whimsical world in this prequel to Roald Dahls’ beloved story. Willy Wonka is an eccentric young chocolatier filled with creativity, ambition and a touch of magic. He arrives in a new town with dreams of opening his first chocolate shop but he must first find a way to overcome a cartel of greedy chocolatiers, a corrupt policeman and the mean Mrs. Scrubitte.

Gently but expertly guided by Monair, you will be observing from life and the examples in Art Library books and Special Collections to produce botanical drawings. You will learn colour mixing and transfer all your ideas to a final piece using Winsor and Newton watercolour paints.

All materials are included and the paint palette will be yours to take home.

Open to all abilities

PuppiGutz presents PuppiTearz, the first monthly PuppiGutz gig at The Fox and Newt. Inclusivity and well matched/shaped lineups are priorities for us and we’re very excited to present this all non-binary/female-fronted lineup of beautiful dream-pop/folk/bedroom-pop to make u cry.  

This is one of three different nights that will alternate each month - PuppiTearz (dream-pop/bedroom-pop/lofi/folk/acoustic), NoiziGutz (alternative/indie/post-punk/shoegaze), and RoboGutz (electronic/experimental/dance/noise).

Join our guided tour of a magnificent Victorian, grade 1 listed, neo-gothic church. Opened in 1841, it was the largest church to have been built in England since St Paul’s Cathedral in 1697.

Learn about the charismatic Dr Hook, whose vision lay behind this building and who became a leading name in the town as well as the church. View the ‘family heirlooms’ we have from previous churches on the site, enjoy the architecture, the stained-glass and the human stories.

We’re confident you will be wowed by the beauty of this amazing building!

Oasish // The Killaz UK LEEDS + indie afterparty 
Leeds, our fourth year running with the Mighty Oasish, this time with the ultimate tribute to The Killers, an awesome indie double bill.
 
After a SOLD OUT show in 2024, this looks set to be the biggest night yet so don't hold back, buy your tickets now to avoid disappointment.
 

The World's best tributes to The Jam, Paul Weller and The Style Council on the same bill. This line up knocked it out of the park last year!

Both these bands are the closest you will get to the original tracks released by Weller and co. The Jam'd have built a huge fan base who agree this show is better than any other tribute to The Jam including Mr Foxton himself. Pure Weller have gone pretty much under the radar so far but their set at Leeds Irish Centre last year supporting The Jam'd blew the socks off everyone there so keep them under your hat before they explode!
