Save the DateFriday 16th January  | | Dr Sketchy’s Burlesque Cabaret – 7.30pm – 10.30pm £12 (maximum 50 places available) A titillating event that should get the creative juices of the rustiest of closet artists flowing. Dr Sketchy’s Burlesque events are a marriage of visual performance and life drawing at its best. Described as “liberating” and a “unique combination of art and cabaret”, this event is set to kick off the New Year to the tune of a thousand raised eyebrows! Burlesque dancers (the ones that wear those tight corsets and stockings!!) play a sensual game of musical statues – burlesque dancing interrupted by a pause so that the artists can sketch away, or not, and the occasional sound of a garment dropping to the floor may be heard! Supper will be available all evening though is not included in the ticket price, and cold showers will be provided for those who require them. Numbers are limited for this event so please book early to avoid disappointment.

Instead, head for a light hearted afternoon of sophisticated market style trading in the Gallery to put those surplus Christmas presents or Vintage paraphernalia to good use. You can either sell your wares and get back in the black or donate them for the proceeds to go to a worthwhile charity. A hearty menu will be available for enthusiastic shoppers to fuel the boilers before, during or indeed after a good spirited bargain hunt. All you need to do is hand in your treasures and indicate whether you want to take the proceeds or donate to charity and we will do the rest (see sheet attached). The hand in for all items will be from Monday 5th January to Friday 17th. Volunteers are required to help supervise the boutiques so why not put yourself forward and bring along some friends for the ultimate shopping experience.
