This summer sees the return of Postcards Festival. For two weeks in July, Highgate will be home to a whole host of weird and wonderful acts as we present an eclectic mix of circus, cabaret and extraordinary performance.
What’s more, Postcards 2016 is breaking the mould: for the first time at a London festival, all ticket prices are up to you with the launch of our new Pay What You Decide scheme! Tickets can be reserved in advance (maximum four per booking) and after the performance you’ll have the opportunity to make a donation, either by cash on the door or card at the Box Office.

Remedial Remedies looks at how the youth of today are pressured, how the stress of exams and succeeding can affect their overall performance and social life. We follow the story of Bruce, Jack, Kevin and Ben, four students who have failed their English GCSE. It’s the run up to the resit of the exam and they have been placed into a special revision session with a support teacher Mr Winterdon. Each boy deals with the week differently, we see the effects of ADHD and discover more about their relationship with Winterdon, each other and their school, seeing how each boy has a different outlook on the exams and their future life. As the pressure starts to pile on we watch as the cracks begin to appear and see a hopeless Mr Winterdon trying to pave the way to greatness.

David Bowie loved the circus, and we love David Bowie.
Jacksons Lane pays its respects with a once-in-a-lifetime night of spectacular sound and vision that we think will blow your minds. Performers from across the globe come together to celebrate Ziggy, the Thin White Duke, and maybe even Jareth the Goblin King as they choose their favourite Bowie look and song for a night of spaceman-inspired circus that’s out of this world.

Highgate councillors hold a surgery at the HLSI (Highgate Literary and Scientific Society, 11 South Grove, Pond Square) on the 2nd and 4th Saturday mornings, and at Jacksons Lane on the 1st and 3rd Saturday mornings. There is no surgery on 5th Saturdays.
Councillors’ surgeries provide the opportunity for a constituent to meet one of his/her councillors face-to-face. The purpose is usually to discuss and hopefully to help resolve a local or personal issue in which Haringey council has or could have a role. Meeting at a surgery can be particularly useful when there are numerous documents relevant to the issue. Surgeries are normally held in the members’ reading room of the HLSI, but a private space is available if required. No booking is needed.

PART OF THE CAMDEN FRINGE FESTIVAL 2016

This satirical comedy explores the absurdity between what management say and how they behave.
Set in a Further Education college, this team respond to government budget cuts and an appalling Ofsted inspection by self-serving self-preservation and fraud. The play tracks the new man, Nigel, from his first day. What follows is a darkly comic series of events. His enthusiasm genuinely to put students at the heart of everything will surely make a difference, won’t it?
