If you're in the early stages of building something creative or are interested in the future of creative technologies, then this one's for you.

Canopy Demo Night is coming to Bath Spa University's Locksbrook campus on 28th April. It's a celebration of creative entrepreneurship with live demos, great conversation, and a party atmosphere.

Here's what to expect:

• A fireside chat with Zillah Watson — former head of VR at the BBC, immersive storytelling innovator, and founder of Phase Space (you'll get to try her VR headsets on the night!) and Coral Manton, artist-technologist and head of the Centre for Creative Technology at Bath Spa.
• A live portrait artist (you could leave with a drawing of yourself)
• Student and academic entrepreneurs demoing their boldest creative ideas
• A podcast recording live on the night
• Drinks, food, and tours of the workshops at Locksbrook

We'll be showcasing the entrepreneurial activity going on at BSU and to sparking a conversation about the path to commercializing research and creative practice. It's an evening to get inspired, make real connections, and be part of Bath's creative and entrepreneurial community.

📅 Tuesday 28 April 2026
🕕 Doors from 6pm | Fireside chat with Zillah & Coral + Demos from 6:30pm
📍 Locksbrook Road Campus, Bath BA1 3EL

Presented by Bath Spa Productions

📅 Thurs 12th - Sat 14th March 2025
📍 The Egg Theatre, Bath
🎟️ £5.50 - £14
🔗 Tickets and more info in bio

A house-warming party unravels into a whirlwind of secrets, shifting loyalties and unexpected confessions in this fast, funny and sharply observed modern comedy.

Join Bath Spa University’s talented cast of third-year BA Acting students, in collaboration with Theatre, Festival and Event Production students, for this award-winning contemporary Irish play, exposing what happens when friendships fracture, egos flare and every whispered confession risks igniting the whole evening.

Content: The play centres on some adult themes: infidelity, sexual desire, interpersonal conflict, and emotional betrayal.

An amateur production by arrangement with Nick Hern Books - www.nickhernbooks.co.uk
