SUMMARY:Wonderful Wednesdays - Vici Wreford-Sinnott: Unruly
DESCRIPTION:Pay what you can affordDoors open 7:30 pm\, Show starts 8 pmThis show is for a seated audience \nMarina and Suze\, a force of post-punk\, police-agitating\, bollocks-shouting duo were changing the world through the disability rights movement. Best friends from childhood\, the pair had a loyal\, fiery relationship\, but now Marina has lost Suze forever\, and the revolution has to stop for a while. Marina reflects on their riotous journey\, embodying their world\, as she summons a lineage of powerful disabled heroines. \nIn order to say goodbye to Suze properly\, Marina questions whether it has all been worth it. Acknowledging the personal cost of campaigning\, and feeling like she has to query her own role\, she carefully unpacks her life and slowly removes the layers of women she was expected to be by others. \nUnruly is written and performed by Vici Wreford-Sinnott alongside award-winning composer and musician Beccy Owen. Bex Bowsher directs this rare piece of disabled women-led theatre with an impassioned call to action. We invite you to celebrate these hidden radicals while considering whether doing nothing to oppose brutal injustice is ever really an option. \nUnruly is a powerful\, urgent show about refusing to be invisible in hostile environments and the power of friendship and community to get us through. \nAccess information: \nThis show has integral captioning and audio description is written into the script. There is integrated BSL Interpretation\, please ask Box Office about the best seating for each. \nAccess Culture of the show \nThere will be a warm welcome into the theatre. We create work to be as accessible as possible and we want audiences to feel comfortable in the space. \nIt’s fine to come and go in the theatre if you need the loo or to take a break. \nPeople who make involuntary noises based on their conditions are welcome\, and as such we expect all audience members to be respectful of all other audience members. It is a ‘tutting’ and frowning free-zone. \nThere is no audience participation during the show\, so no one will be put on the spot for anything. \nAccess dogs are welcome. Do let us know in advance where possible. \nMusic and Sound \nAll music is performed live by one musician/sound artist/singer. Some of the music is in a punk style and so many have attitude and a degree of reasonable volume. No loud bangs and no distorted sound are expected. \nThere are a couple of moments where the actor raises their voice in the context of the play \nContent awareness \nThe play explores themes of friendship and loss\, reflection on life events\, amazing disabled women from history who achieved incredible things against very challenging and discriminatory social backdrops. There are references to death – there is no detail described. Drinking alcohol

SUMMARY:Solstice + Ebony Buckle
DESCRIPTION:Tickets £19.50.Doors open 7.30pm\, starts 8pm.This gig is for a seated audience. \nA story that began at the legendary Marquee Club in London’s Wardour Street finally arrives at the chapter PROG journalist Martin Kielty describes as “Solstice becoming the band they were always meant to be”. \nOn the current album ‘Light Up’ released January 13th 2023: “Nothing prepared me for the extraordinary new line-up that they have settled on in the last few years. Solstice are back and are back to being brilliant. Their forthcoming album\, Light Up\, is utterly sensational: beautiful production\, great songs\, great voices\, tricky rhythms and epic guitar solos.” Greg Spawton\, Big Big Train \n‘Wow! – that’s a great sounding album! Very Solstice\, and a wonderfully dynamic vibe. Evokes the spirit of the band I first saw in the 80s\, but with very much a ‘here and now’ production sound that brings with it the wisdom of those ensuing years. Jerry Ewing\, Editor PROG mag. \nhttps://www.solsticeprog.uk/ \nSupport: EBONY BUCKLEhttps://www.ebonybuckle.com/about

SUMMARY:Disney Lorcana Archazia's Island Draft Event
DESCRIPTION:We are looking to run our first Lorcan draft event With Archazia’s Island. This looks like it will be a lot of fun as with the draft rules you can use any combination of colours in your deck you like. Check out the rules below. \nIn a Draft tournament\, players take turns selecting\, or “drafting\,” cards from previously unopened booster packs to form their card pools. \nYou will get four boosters to draft on the day. For the first pack\, each player opens the pack\, selects one card to add to their card pool\, then passes the remaining cards to their left. Then they collect the pack from their right\, select a card\, and pass the remaining cards to their left. Card selection continues in this manner until all cards from the pack have been drafted.  \nThe direction of passing reverses for each pack: the second pack is passed to the right\, the third pack is passed to the left\, and so on. Once all packs have been drafted\, each player’s picks becometheir completed card pool for deck construction.In Lorcana’s Booster Draft format\, each player will build a 40-card deck. This is a change from the standard 60-card deck when you build a Lorcana deck for use in its Core Constructed format. \nAs you should end up with 48 cards from the cards you draft – as each booster includes 12 cards – you will essentially be looking to decide which eight cards you want to discard and not include in your deck. \nIn another major change from Lorcana’s standard deck-building rules for its Core Constructed format\, which limits your deck to a maximum of two different ink colours\, you can include cards of all six inks in your deck when playing Lorcana’s Booster Draft format. \nOne final change from the standard Lorcana deck-building rules is that you can include more than four copies of a card with the same name. This includes both the name of the character – for example\, Captain Hook – and their title\, which is printed underneath\, such as Forceful Duelist. \nStart Time is 12:30pmCost £25Prize pool: For every player one booster will be added to the prize pool.End Time is 17:00pm \nPlease note all of these events have limited spaces of 24 people\, so to avoid missing out please either click attend on this event\, come in and speak to a member of staff or call us on 01206 561912 to make sure you don’t miss out.
