Due to the COVID19 pandemic a number of our events will no longer take place.

Unfortunately due to the every changing environment around large gatherings and the ability of our voluntary team to take time out to mount performances, we regret that Asia in Focus, Pierrot Lunaire & Dancing on a Volcano presented by Forest Collective will be cancelled.

We're aiming to be able to reschedule them for a future date.

We wish everyone the best at this challenging time.

We are working on refunding any ticket holders for this event, and we hope we can present this program at some point in the future.
