Roman Clay Creations: Festival of Archaeology 2026

Family friendly workshops: Create a personal offering inspired by the ancient world! Learn about Roman beliefs and traditions in this thoughtful, hands-on workshop exploring votive offerings – objects given to the gods as symbols of hope, gratitude, or healing. You’ll then be guided in sculpting your own meaningful clay piece, inspired by authentic Roman examples and their stories – including one of our favourite Roman archaeological finds from Stanwick Lakes, a copper alloy frog! Led by sculptor and artist Lisa Lovett of Earthly Art Studio as part of the Festival of Archaeology at Stanwick Lakes. Each workshop activity has suggested age ranges provided, however, we accept parent/guardian discretion. All children must be accompanied by a parent or guardian at all times.

An opportunity to meet with others - in person or online - to explore Life and Faith. The Being With course is an introduction to Christianity with a difference. At it's heart is the idea that God's greatest desire is to be with us in Jesus.

Dawn Patrol Open Air: Maz & Antdot extended set

Dawn Patrol make their summer debut at The Cause ft. an extended b2b from label heads Maz & Antdot on July 24th. Yes, please! A dance over sunset on the sun-kissed Cause terrace, to the sounds of Maz & Antdot's uplifting house grooves and a custom Dawn Patrol production install, is a summer spectacle, not to be missed. A sound that's meant to be heard open air under the sun, Dawn Patrol is the brainchild of friends Maz and Antdot, blending sound, lifestyle, and positive energy, with authenticity at its core. The label made it's UK debut back in December with a landmark sold out Roundhouse showcase. Having seen the energy Maz and Antdot brought to the rounds, we can’t wait to see the magic they bring to their first open air session. Joining Maz and Antdot are fellow Brazilians Bakka & Riascode, with standout releases on Dawn Patrol, Inner Wars & Maré. Pre-sale tickets go live May 8th at 10am, exclusively to those who sign up.
