Hay Reads Book Club

At our fourth meeting of Hay Reads 2026 we’ll be talking about Zadie Smith. Please ask in the bookshop for input and recommendations.

Stitches & Stories Book Club August 2026

Stitches & Stories is a collaboration between Jo from Bobbin Sisters Yarns and Jules at North Books. We thought a book group of crafters who sit and discuss books while they work alongside each other would be rather fun. Jo takes the credit for coming up with the textile-themed books.

Emily Portman & Friends

6pm Doors 7pm performance Emily Portman is an award-winning singer and songwriter with a passion for traditional songs, hailed as “one of the new British folk scene’s most beguiling presences” (Uncut). She has toured widely for over 15 years as a bandleader, with The Furrow Collective, the folk chart-topping Sea Song Sessions, and in a duo with Leveret’s Rob Harbron. Emily was awarded a BBC Folk Award for Best Original Song and has released three critically acclaimed albums of original material that recast old ballads and fairytales into new shapes. In 2026, Emily returns to the road with an inspired new live show previewing songs from her forthcoming solo album, Dominion of Spells, released in May 2026, alongside selected material from across her acclaimed catalogue. Dominion of Spells marks a bold new chapter in Emily’s songwriting. Drawing on ballads and folktales, the album weaves lived experience with rich mythic imagery, charting a journey through dark woods at midlife in search of transformation and wonder. Shape-shifting selkies, fairy queens, foxes, and owl goddesses thread through contemporary story-songs exploring parenthood, home, burnout, grief, and the transformative power of creativity. The new songs are brought vividly to life with a fresh live line-up featuring sought-after guitarist Louis Campbell and acclaimed cellist Lucy Revis (Before Breakfast).

Tallulah Rendall - Only Human Tour

Doors 7.30 ONLY HUMAN is more than an album — it’s an immersive companion exploring what it means to live with an open heart in a complex world. Tallulah Rendall’s seventh album, HUMAN, is a raw and cinematic exploration of what it means to live with an open heart in a world that often rewards disconnection. Blending alt-pop, electronic textures, and organic instrumentation, the album chronicles her journey from shame and a lack of self belief to self-acceptance and love; a deeply personal yet universal reflection on the courage to be human.” A love letter to the messy beauty of existence — to falling, breaking, healing, and rising again. Each song is a prayer, a confession, a reclamation of self. It’s an album about remembering who we are beneath the noise; raw, imperfect, and profoundly alive. Tallulah's performance includes Ben Roberts (cello & vocals), Sam Walker (drums & vocals), Steffanie Kelly (piano & vocals), David Curtis (double bass) 'A soaring and mesmerising vocal presence' James Blake A thing of Beauty. A work of Genius. Clash Magazine Atton=Raon - support Multi-Instrumental performer/composer Sam Walker - Sprawling experimental pop flows through soaring melody, rolling textural beats and pin drop moments held within a world of sound design, spoken word, exquisite lighting and visuals.

The Undercover Hippy

Doors 7pm This October, The Undercover Hippy are on tour once again, promoting the release of their new single “Nothing To See Here”. As always, the band use their music to draw attention to the issues that those in power would rather you ignored. But ignorance is no longer an option. Everyone is in this together and we will all pay the price of choosing to look away. So let’s gather together once again, join our voices in unison, bounce our bodies around to the beat for no explicable reason, and celebrate the joy of existence, whilst also drawing strength for the battle ahead. Because they might stop a single man… but they can’t stop the tide. If you’ve not been to an Undercover Hippy gig before, you are in for a treat. By the encore you will be exalted and exhausted; entertained and educated; energised and inspired. The music combines meaningful lyrics with upbeat, bass soaked, reggae and hip-hop infused rhythms, bringing like minded people together to both acknowledge the darkness and celebrate life. “I don’t think there’s anything quite like The Undercover Hippy...
