About
Our guests will talk us through their recent projects and how they’ve found the opportunities to thrive in the area. To tie in with our current exhibition 'Sleeper, Giant' Show + Tell 2 will be loosely themed around public sculpture, as well as giving us in the inside scoop of what it's like to work in the arts industry. Our gallery and bar will be open all evening and we'll also have 10% off everything in our shop - for one night only! Tickets are extremely limited.
