Soho House at Half Term

Hello, Please could you include info on things going on at Soho House over the half term? Come along to Soho House over the half term holidays (25th – 30th Oct) and explore the spooky cellars below the house. This year you can find out those spine tingling things that kept the Georgians awake at night… Highwaymen, headless ladies and the sinister swish of the guillotine!… As well as this there are creepy crafts to keep the kids entertained on Tues/Weds/Thurs, and Horror Effects face painting on Friday… Remember the last day of our open season this year is 30th October, so come along to see you before then!  Thanks very much, Rachel A piece of PR we couldn’t be bothered to re-write.

I see the Play More collective and this event Play School, as having a very collaborative ethos and approach and we’re keen to build relationships with other artists, gamers and performers within the West Midlands. I’ve attached the flyer for the event, Facebook links and a copy of the artists call-out that we are putting on arts jobs. If you have any ideas for a quirky little game or random task you would like to run or if you don’t mind helping out on the day, all contributions will be most welcome and rewarded with a pint.

Please get in touch if you’d like more info and forward to anyone you think might...
