What's on in East End

Suffolk, England

Quiz nights where the debate over question 7 lasts longer than the quiz itself. Coffee mornings that turn into proper natter sessions. Craft fairs where you'll actually find something worth buying instead of the usual tat. That's East End, and we've got it all listed — from book clubs to bingo, farmers' markets to film screenings. The sort of events where you'll probably bump into someone you know, which is either brilliant or your worst nightmare depending on whether you've been dodging Dave from the parish council.

Drink, Draw, Write

A relaxed creative evening. Draw and/or write, and socialise, no experience needed. We have been trying something new for a few months. If you like the idea of what we are trying to do, please become part of it and help get it off the ground. Drink, Draw, Write is a relaxed monthly creative social meet up. Bring your sketchbook (or just yourself), have a drink, and spend a couple of hours drawing, writing, and unwinding in good company. This is not a class as such, but an opportunity to mark some time in your diary to be creative. Each session includes: – A theme and prompts to get you going creatively (unless you already have your own project on the way, we will not hold you back) – Inspirational reference material – Pens, paper, and some other art supplies to borrow, but we encourage you to bring your own favorites. (yes, digital is fine too) – An opportunity to share your work (only if you want to) You will also be able to join the associated WhatsApp group, allowing you to communicate with other creatives. Please prebook tickets; it really helps us plan and make sure we can run these events. We understand decisions can sometimes be made at the last minute, and we will do our best to accommodate you at the door.

Haunting Nights

Join Haunting Nights on The Witch Finder General Ghost Hunt here in Manningtree! Haunting Nights Bring you closer to the story than ever before of the Essex Witch Trials It has been reported many times that the ghost of Matthew Hopkins, the self-proclaimed Witchfinder General, can been seen, especially on nights of a full moon. The ghostly apparition is seen dressed in 17th century clothing close to Mistley ‘ducking’ Pond and the nearby ‘hopping’ bridge not far from St. Marys Church, Mistley. Other reports claim that the ghost of his first victim, the elderly and crippled Elizabeth Clarke appears on the shores of Seafield Bay. Elizabeth was dragged out of The Red Lion public house by Matthew Hopkins as he loudly accused her of being a witch, following a previous accusation by the local tailor John Rivet. Elizabeth was convicted and sentenced to death by hanging. This conviction convinced Hopkins that he was right to accuse her so he proclaimed himself “The Witchfinder General” Join the team as they investigate the hauntings of Matthew Hopkins Witch Finder General. During the night you will have the opportunity to use various methods of ghost hunting to include Victorian seances, Ouija boards, table tipping and glass moving as well as the more up to date methods, Working alongside the Haunting Nights Team we will have you covered for your paranormal experience. To book tickets visit The Haunting Teams website...

Upstairs at The Red Lion (BiGiAM presents) Anna Pancaldi & Dan Raza

Two highly acclaimed singer song writers together for one night only! Anna Pancaldi An enchanting and noteworthy London-based singer-songwriter influenced by the likes of Joni Mitchell and Carole King, proves a rare talent with her wondrous vocals and thought-provoking songbook, offering exquisite musicality that is effortlessly honest, touchingly relatable, and delivered by a performer known for her deeply affecting live performances. Following a series of sold-out London headline shows alongside extensive UK, US, and European tours, Anna has continued to release a string of achingly beautiful songs which showcase the raw depth and unique tones of her voice, most notably with her latest single, “Joe,” which serves as a delicate and heart-wrenching tribute of love for her brother. Dan Raza PLUCKED while still a student to tour with Joan Armatrading, and championed by Neil Young on his ‘Living With War’ website, Dan Raza has spent the first chapter of his career weaving folk troubadour magic around the clubs and halls of the UK and Europe while quietly building a reputation as one of the UK’s best-kept musical secrets. An evening not to be missed, a limited amount of tickets are on sale in the pub or from https://wegottickets.com/event/692892 £18
