Chemistry is back on Friday 27 September, with another night of poetry and spoken word, two brilliant headliners and our amazing open mic. This time round our headliners are Emily Zobel Marshall and Harry Man.

The events are themed on the elements of the periodic table, so this time it’s element number 15, which is P for Phosphorus. 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.

After Christmas with Danny Beard, join us in Kino for a glass of wine and some late night cabaret. Hosted by a special guest and with live pianist, you can simply watch, or bring a showtune and some sheet music if you fancy a song!

Open to everyone, so even if you’ve not attended the show you can still drop in to join us for the after party.
