6 Oct 2025 - 22 Oct 2025

The podcast the streets will never forget. Since launching in 2020, the Football Clichés podcast has been on a relentless search for the true meaning of football. Why do we talk about it the way we do? Just how big is a "pocket" of space? What's the least impressive thing that football could consider "a classy touch"? Which is worse: a "carthorse" or a "donkey"? How many errors constitute "a comedy of errors"? What's the worst football action scene in cinema history? What's the most "kit launch" pose a footballer can strike?

Sunday (1994)

1 Sept 2025 - 20 Nov 2025

Sunday (1994) is a story of love. A love that turns lonely long-haul flights into emotional dramas, and bad apartments into settings. A love that starts with a meet-cute and never ends. A love that was born out of music, bonded by music, and now explored in music. Sunday (1994) is a soundtrack. A collaboration 10 years in the making, Paige Turner and Lee Newell knew they would make music together the second their relationship started. Without ever needing to discuss the sound, style or direction it would take, theirs is the effortless artistry that comes from total trust and honesty. Both musicians saved their best work and tenderest lyrics for this moment, finally exhaling them in the catharsis of this new project. All coming to fruition and entering the world outside of their one-bed apartment like two characters walking onto the screen, Sunday (1994) are ready for their premiere. Along with their enigmatic, anonymous drummer, x, their sound is cinematic in the truest sense. Its music you can imagine characters running through airports to, racing after love. They're songs for bedroom floor tears or the first time two hands touch. It's a release that captures a love story, and every love story that has ever and will ever happen, in all of its sweet, daydreaming and dramatic beauty.

Folklore & Women

1 Sept 2025 - 24 Sept 2025

Throughout history, women have typically been the guardians of bodies of knowledge not recognised by the elite due to exclusion from education and learned culture. This includes what is called folklore, the knowledge of how to live and survive in a dangerous world governed by chance and by intended evil. In this talk we will explore one branch of that knowledge, which is still half consciously practised by many people today: folklore about how to guard and seal the house and the body against unwanted or evil powers. We will begin by exploring our own household ‘rituals’ and the anxiety that can come with leaving the house, briefly discussing Tuppence Middleton's book about obsessive compulsive disorder on leaving the house. We will then dive deep into centuries old folklore rituals, including witch marks, threshold rituals, cleansing rituals, especially around the fireplace and the chimney, Santa Claus, and the role of household spirits or brownies in safeguarding or in menacing the household. We will discuss the way this invisible work has always been done by women, often in secret and in the teeth of disapproval from male relatives and ecclesiastical hierarchies. Doors open at 7pm, talk starts at 7:30pm - come down early to grab a good seat! Diane Purkiss is Professor of English at the University of Oxford, and a fellow of Keble College. She has published on witchcraft, fairies, and also on the English Civil War, the occasion of England's biggest witchhunt. Presented by Seed Talks This is a 16+ event
