Plus exciting news! If you've ever wondered why Sheffield doesn't have some kind of local website for finding out about strange grassroots events like the above, then sign up on imps.world for news of our upcoming collaboration with much loved local venue gut level. More on that soon...

... and also one more reminder for our open call for performances, workshops and conference talks for alpaca festival. The deadline is 1st November, with the festival itself happening 6-9th May 2027. See alpaca.cc/call for full details, and let us know if you have any questions !

Finally we're also very excited to be incorporating as Pattern Club CIC ! The CIC bit stands for Community Interest Company - basically we're becoming an official non-profit organisation, operating for the benefit of you lot. This will hopefully allow us to be more successful with applying for funding than we have been (three out of three failed arts council applications last year, ouch) and generally have a more solid constitution. This is a big step for us, thanks for all the support over the years !
