It’s girls on top in this rip-roaring, trail-blazing night to remember! Hosted by the inimitable and award-winning Sh!t Theatre, Flappers brings together some of the most exciting talent from circus, comedy and live art. A range of acts will be announced over the coming weeks (keep your eyes fixed on us) and oh yes, did we mention they’re all female?

 

We have introduced a Pay What You Decide policy for Postcards Festival 2016shows.

You can attend the shows without paying for a ticket beforehand, but tickets can be reserved in advance (max 4 per booking). When the show finishes, you will have the opportunity to make a donation – either by cash on the door or card at the Box Office.

Sundial Sundays: The Popinjays & The Metatrons

Join us in pretty Waterlow Park for a summer BBQ plus a double bill of FREE music as two well-established indie acts perform live on the Tea Lawn…

Indie veterans, The Popinjays, return after a 21 year hiatus. After a critically acclaimed John Peel session, three albums on One Little Indian Records, a US College Radio hit “Vote Elvis”, and tours with They Might Be Giants, The Fatima Mansions, and the Kitchens of Distinction, The Pops called it a day in 1994. Since 2015 they have shared bills with The Darling Buds, The Wonder Stuff, and The Wedding Present. Back with their original set of 90s Indie Pop, Wendy, Polly and the drum machine are currently working on a special limited-edition, legacy release, again with OLI.

The Metatrons are an Indie band from Hitchin. Their second album, “Patterns of Chaos” has recently been featured on BBC6 Music and Sky TV.

Relax on the grass with a burger and a cold drink while you enjoy family-friendly live music as part of our ongoing Sundial Sundays season.

The Popinjays & The Metatrons performance will take place between 2.30 and 4.30pm on 12 August. All sessions are free to attend and open to everyone. See the full programme of Sundial Sunday performances here.

Sundial Sundays have been generously sponsored by the Co-op Community Fund.
