Highgate Repair Café to open. opening Saturday, 14 February 2026, 10-1, St. Michael’s Church, South Grove N6 6BJ encouraging a repair culture to save the planet and your purse usually every second Saturday of the month Haringey Fixers will donate their time and skill get help fixing\mending\repairing household goods including textiles supported by the vicar and the Highgate Society.
This exhibition is a celebration of the life and work of the painter, Joan Hodes. Born in Hampstead
in 1925, Joan studied first at the Slade School of Art, then Academy Julien in Paris and subsequently
as a pupil of Oskar Kokoschka, forging an art shaped by expressionism and a direct response to nature.
The exhibition at Highgate Gallery presents a range of her work to include oils as well as drawings,
pastels, and prints. It will allow visitors to see the development of her work from sketch through to
completed canvases and fully resolved watercolours. In addition, they will be able to view a variety
of her prints, including lino, etchings and dry points which show how even when working within a small
scale, through colour and line, she was able to create powerful and expressive images. For Joan, the
landscape with its changing weather and light, drawn from regular trips to Scotland, Wales, Ireland,
France, Italy and most recently Suffolk, was a re-occurring theme and the site for an immediate and
subjective response, full of energy and even rebellion.
Joan moved to Camden Town in the late eighties and subsequently to Hampstead where she lived for
over 30 years until her death in 2022. She regularly contributed to exhibitions at, amongst others,
the Mercury Gallery, Leicester Gallery, Ben Uri Gallery and the Royal Academy.
At a time when the work of women artists is being reassessed, an exhibition of Joan’s work is both
timely and important. There is a growing interest in her work which is already represented in numerous
private and public collections, including the British Museum, V&A and UCL Art Museum. Her archive is
held at the Women’s Art Library, Goldsmiths, University of London.

“This is an experience that isn’t just different but very special indeed.”

Chevalier – Hobbyhorse Circus is an irresistibly charming homage to the magnificent horses of circus and the silent movie era. Drawing inspiration from the history of traditional horse circuses, Kalle Lehto’s ringmaster performs acrobatics, juggling and balancing with an amazing cast of hobby horses.
As the horses take centre stage on the small manege, part of the ringmaster’s story is told in short silent movies accompanied by old time silent movie music. Kalle’s playful work with the hobby horses, natural comedic sense and the fluid movement of a breakdancer bring the magic of circus alive – completed by Sami Tammela’s genius music and traditional circus soundscapes with electronic elements.

On this International Women’s Day, Carola Emrich-Fisher, mezzo-soprano and Lara Dodds-Eden, piano will present Unheard Voices: Women Composers & Their Stories. With six different languages, three continents and several centuries represented, this recital offers a glimpse into the vast repertoire of women composers’ works. Women composers are still underrepresented in the canon of Classical music and little research has been undertaken into some composers simply because they were women and not as well-known in their time. Luckily, the world is gradually discovering the wealth of repertoire composed by women in the past and contemporary women composers are more and more represented in concert halls. This recital will be a journey of discovery: from little-known Romantic composers, such as Josephine Lang, Dora Pejačević, Clara Faisst, Johanna Müller-Hermann and Margarete Schweikert, to 20th century composers Lili and Nadia Boulanger, Henriette Boesmanns, Rebecca Clarke, Amy Beach, Marion Bauer, Florence Price and Vítězslava Kaprálová, to contemporary composers Shirley Thompson, Virginia Firnberg, Cecilia Livingston and Alice Ping Yee Ho. These women composers were and are trailblazers of their time, breaking conventions and pursuing their work despite immense challenges. The concert will not only present these composers’ works, but will shed light on the fascinating life stories and accomplishments of these women.
German-American mezzo-soprano Carola Emrich-Fisher has appeared as soloist and ensemble member in major concert halls of the US, UK and Europe. She holds an MM (distinction) from the Longy School of Music and a BM (honours) from New England Conservatory. Australian-born pianist Lara Dodds-Eden received her doctorate from the University of Toronto after postgraduate studies in the UK. As a specialist song and choral accompanist, she has performed extensively in the UK, Australia, Canada and Europe.

“Electrifying physical performance”
— Broadway Baby
Step into the illicit glamour of The Moonlight Speakeasy – Neon Moon’s hidden world of prohibition-era decadence. Beneath the neon glow of a lavish 1920s dive bar (think Peaky Blinders meets The Great Gatsby), a heady night of mischief awaits.
Sip on ice-cold, artfully crafted cocktails as burlesque sirens bathe in martinis and retro-circus performers dazzle in a haze of smoke and scandal. This is a place where elegance meets excess, and nothing is quite what it seems.
Dressing up is more than encouraged—it’s essential. Channel your inner bohemian, Tokyo Queen, artist, or muse, and step into the spotlight for the most electrifying ‘Blind Tiger’ prohibition show in town.
