48-Hour Party People
A major part of the Build Our Future campaign is 48-Hour Party People: a continuous, 48-hour live gig, starting at 6pm on Friday 6th March, running through to 6pm on Sunday 8th March.
The 48 hour spectacular will showcase the full breadth of our community-led activity; celebrating amazing local artists, the emerging regional music scene, our Mosh Tots, New Noise, Sound Check and Propeller programmes, plus our partnerships with local schools.
This event will be broken down into seven sessions, with many ways for people to engage. Entry to each session will be through a donation to the Build Our Future campaign, and will be structured on a ‘pay what you feel’ basis.
The whole event will also be live streamed for people to watch along from home and enjoy the spectacle without being in the room.
All funds raised at the event will contribute to our Build Our Future crowdfunder. For full details on the Build Our Future campaign, click here

MOSH TOTS
The Mosh Tots Band headline the hippest show in town on Sunday 8th March!
Aimed at children aged 0-8, Mosh Tots is here to introduce young people to the rockin’ world of live music in a safe and fun environment. We believe that live music should be for everyone, no matter your age. For too long live music venues have been off limits for young children and their parents. Mosh Tots flips that on its head and is an opportunity to share the joy of live music together as a family.
Tickets available separately here.
