Stitchin’ Fiction @ The Boogaloo
Feb 3 @ 6:00 pm – 11:00 pm

“A new writing night where casting, rehearsing, and performing takes place in the course of a single evening.” Once a month, writers are given the chance to see their words brought to life by performers, who in turn get to hone their improvisation and workshopping skills in a relaxed atmosphere, and be on the pulse of new work. Sketches, monologues, duologues, spoken word, performance poetry – as long as it’s new! Stitchin’ Fiction strives to create new links between passionate creatives –  pulling words off the page and into reality. Based in the heart of North London, join in or come along to watch the newest of new writing from 7:30pm! Date: Tuesday 3rd February Time: 6pm for Participants – Public Scratch Performance begins 7:30pm followed by Q&A Venue: The Boogaloo, 312 Archway Road, London, N6 5AT The Boogaloo with Stitchin’ Fiction strive to create new links between budding creatives. Our aim: to give you a platform to show your work and take creative risks. Get the words out of your notebooks and your laptops; give them life in this relaxed scratch evening.

Swish and Style @ Jacksons Lane
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.
