We’ve got some exciting guests coming to visit for our late night events in April in our Gallery space. 🪴🌼

A special shout out to our Manchester 🚂🚂 friends for our lovely trip over to SOUP at the weekend.

🌻🌻Tickets for all of our late night events in the Gallery are available through the link in our bio, at cosmicslop.org and from behind the Refectory bar after 8pm.

Our Refectory bar will be open for DJs, drinks and merch sales from 5pm every Thursday, Friday and Saturday. It’s looking gorgeous now the sun is shining and we’ve got some great new T-Shirts hand printed in house.

Come and say hello to the team! ⭐️⭐️And even better, every penny you spend with us goes towards helping us meet our charitable objectives and working with young people at risk of exclusion from school. 🪴
