Every week we will have a different theme of focus..maybe its diabolo, maybe juggling, it could be all kinds of awesome things! We’ve had classes in acrobatics, sword fighting, tight-wire walking, yoyo, free style football tricks, magic and more!
Welcome to The Old Woollen’s monthly drag night - for those with a serious Drag Addiction!
Chemistry returns to the Chemic on Friday 26 September, with another night of poetry and spoken word, two brilliant headliners and our usual amazing open mic. This time round our headliners are Forward-shortlisted Elisabeth Sennitt Clough and Derby powerhouse Jamie Thrasivoulou.
The events are themed on the elements of the periodic table, so this time it’s element number 21, which is Sc for Scandium. The theme is entirely optional, but we hope you might use it as a creative prompt to come up with some new work to reveal on the night.

We’re very excited to announce the first collaboration between Green Carnation Film Club and Poisoned Peach Cinema - a special 30th anniversary screening of SHOWGIRLS (1995)!
Nomi Malone arrives in Las Vegas with two ambitions: she’s gonna dance, and she’s gonna win. Verhoeven’s infamous flop is a scathing takedown of the American Dream. On its 30th anniversary, SHOWGIRLS remains a camp spectacle unlike anything else.
Live in the Assembly Bar + Kitchen!
