Have some fun with this multi-sensory sound installation that serves bass not beer, and creates connections through music.
The installation is an interactive work, playful and joyful with spaces for up to four people of all ages to interact with the bar at any one time, each experience lasting up to the length of a song.
As you arrive, you’ll find the ordinary items you’d usually expect to find, such as glasses, beermats, the odd bit of change. But at this bar, these items when touched will create a groove, a sound, strings, a snare, maybe a guitar, or synths if you like.
Commissioned and produced by Activate Performing Arts.

A walking conversation with Izzy from Rights For Weeds, around Langley Green. We’ll be getting to know the local flora.
We’ll talk about a series of different plant species in turn and discuss how to identify them, which ones are edible, which are toxic, and how to tell them apart. There’ll also be space to talk about recipes, plant history, folklore, bushcraft, traditional herbal medicines and more.
“Rights For Weeds is a project that arose as a way to celebrate nature’s most unloved and often most powerful plants. Using a mix of foraging, folklore, bushcraft and the arts, Rights For Weeds aims to unite the people and plants that make up the urban ecosystem.”
