We've got a BADGE MAKER and we know how to use it! 

We also have stacks of materials to create neat zines and blow up your sketchbook! 

This monthly meet up is a great opportunity to hang out and make stuff with other creative folk. We are asking for a small donation of £2 to help cover the use of materials  but if you can't afford it, that's ok!

Our cafe bar will be open and there will also be a tasty PAYF (pay as you feel) hot dish on the menu so dinners sorted too!

“The supremely talented and likeable” (Metro) Michael has long juggled comedy and medicine but now he’s thrown parenting into the mix too. Surely, something must give?!
