The Vienna Experiment @ The Red Hedgehog
Tickets
Oct 27 @ 8:00 pm – 9:00 pm
Explore the unexplained and the unexplainable with Professor Franklin Fitzroy-Smogg and Baron Gustav von Wraith. Since first meeting in 1888 at the European Institute of Parapsychology in Baden-Baden, Germany, the Professor and the Baron have toured Europe exposing fake mediums and spiritual charlatans. Now you have an opportunity to join them at one of their famous ‘happenings’. Part lecture, part demonstration, they will not only lay bare the techniques used to deceive the vulnerable and overly credulous but also take you through their most baffling and downright disturbing cases. They will conduct a series of thrilling experiments with – and on – you, their ‘witnesses’. From psychometry to spirits; from tarot cards to the ouija board; from numerology to séance, join them as they search for conclusive proof of the existence of the ‘other realm’. Written and performed by international award winning magicians and actors Jasper Blakeley and Frank E. Haschka, The Vienna Experiment is a funny and thrilling theatrical event that will chill, delight and amaze in equal measure.clean

Swish and Style @ Jacksons Lane
Tickets
Mar 26 @ 12:30 pm – 3:00 pm

Tired of your t-shirts? Wish you had some different dresses? Save money by bringing along your unwanted (but wearable) clothes to our Swish and Style event and go home with a new-to-you outfit, all for free!

It’s simple. Have a clear out and bring good quality clothes to one of our seven events. For each item you bring, you get a token that you can exchange for another garment (maximum 10 items). Everything is free, everything is clean and everything will be re-worn and re-loved.

How it works

For the first hour (12.30 – 1.30), everyone is invited to drop off their clothes, shoes and accessories that they want to donate. Whilst we busily sort them into style and hang them on hangers, you’ll be free to check out the workshops – learning how to do simple fixes to your clothes and how to upcycle them into something completely different – a jumper becomes a hot water bottle cover, a treasured Babygro becomes a patchwork memory blanket and an old t-shirt becomes a bag. If you have any clothes that need a little TLC, bring them along and our seamstress can fix them for you for free while you wait.

The from 2pm until 3pm, you get to look through all the clothes and choose what you want. If you love it, take it. It’s first come, first served – but no elbows please!

What can you bring?

Please bring along:

  • Clean and wearable clothes, shoes and accessories
  • No damage, holes and stains
  • You can bring women’s, men’s, children’s and baby clothes
  • No underwear please, unless in sealed, unworn condition

Anything that we deem unacceptable will be given back to you and you will not be given a token. We have the right to turn away any item.

Please note only adults will be allowed at events. Parents with children under the age of 12 can bring them but they must remain under the parents’ supervision at all times.

Any clothes that are left over at the end of the event will be donated to the Salvation Army.
