What’s On
We host regular events here at South Bank Studios and hope you can join us.
Including regular art classes, creative workshops, and our (free) monthly drawing and craft groups.

Upcoming events

Comedy Chomp
Resident performance artist Freddie Hayes is part of another fantastic line-up of 8 acts, primed and ready to give you the giggles on Tues 18th Feb.
Comedy Chomp is a "new act, new material" night, which means you'll see some newbies cutting their comedic teeth, some up & coming talent and even the odd Comedy award winner & professional act shaping their new material, before they take it to club nights, tour shows and festivals:
Sean Mullan, Bobby Woodcock, Ciaran Mullins, Freddie Does Puppets, Lewis Harlock, James Crook, Merrick Olivier, Margaret Pinder Comedy - plus your host for the night: Rich Mitchell
Free entry - pay as you feel and if you've had a good laugh, you'll have the opportunity to pop a donation in the bucket as you leave, which we split between all performers.
Find us on the Top floor, Eagle & Child, 3rd Tuesday of the month, doors at 8. Grab a seat early to avoid disappointment :-)
Please note, this is an 18+ event. More information on Facebook
