Don’t panic if you’re a bit late as questions are repeated. Baby change is available, including the legendary mobile baby change which means you don't need to leave the quiz to change baby! Plenty of high chairs are also available. Prizes for 1st, 2nd & 3rd places include items such as Prosecco, wine, Hotel Chocolate boxes and beauty boxes. The prizes are for you, not the babies!

The mending club runs every first Monday of the month. We invite you to bring something to mend, and we share the tools and the know-how on how to get started. It's an opportunity to make new friends, enjoy friendly chat and drink, whilst learning new skills in a relaxing environment. The focus is on the meditative, life-enhancing joy of craft and being in the moment, whilst having fun sharing skills and just catching-up on life and supporting each other. Walthamstow-based textile artist Mika Sembongi set up Monday Mending Club as a reaction to the climate crisis with an emphasis on positive action. Since starting the club in February 2022, we have introduced complete beginners to both traditional invisible mending and the Japanese craft of Sashiko mending, where a repair is elaborated upon with creative stitching to transform the fault into a new, individual design to be worn with pride. We mend clothes not because we can't afford new clothes, but because we can't afford to throw them away. No need to book a spot - just turn up on the night.

Another Thought is a day-to-night celebration of collective musical spirit; some parts Balearic, some parts Adriatic, some parts acid house, with a dash of eclecticism in all the right ways. The festival is taking place across various venues on the Blackhorse Beer Mile, with one stage at Big Penny Social. The Big Penny Social stage is headlined by the legendary Erol Alkan. Open-hearted. Sun-soaked. Slightly sideways. This is an invitation to listen differently & dance without urgency. Built for those who stay curious. For dancers who remember why they started and those who stay out later than they’re supposed to. A place for the collectors and selectors. Deep cuts, B-sides, and the forgotten. This is not a throwback, this is continuity. Slow builds and unexpected turns alongside a healthy dose of what you like. Space to move, space to feel. No rush. No hype. No filler.
