Missing the mud? The music? The glorious chaos of Glasto season? Same here.

If this fallow year has left you craving that tent‑losing, welly‑wearing magic, we’re rewinding to a version of the festival that now only exists in memory - the wild, muddy, beautifully unfiltered Glastonbury of the early ’90s.

Glastonbury The Movie throws you straight into the 1993 festival, filmed in sweeping Panavision CinemaScope and buzzing with the kind of energy you can almost feel through the screen. Think muddy fields, live music drifting across the site, and that electric sense of being part of something huge, messy and unforgettable. It’s a full‑body trip back to old‑school festival culture - the kind that grabs you by the hand and pulls you right into the crowd.

There’s a Glastonbury that exists only in memory – before the BBC arrived, before phone masts and wall-to-wall coverage, before tickets sold out in minutes

Armed with razor‑sharp freestyle skills and a backstory involving two very famous “dads”, MC Hammersmith is back with Ice Ice Nepo Baby.

It’s part rap show, part improv chaos, part family‑tree meltdown - and completely hilarious from start to finish.

Lock up ya grandads - Baga Chipz MBE is back and she’s bringing a full night of filth, sequins and stories you definitely shouldn’t repeat at work.

Expect big vocals, bigger hair and the kind of comedy chaos only Baga can deliver. With partner‑in‑crime Tanya Hyde joining for iconic duets and twenty years of friendship onstage, this is pure camp joy from start to finish.

Opera, but make it cinematic. Come get swept up in it.

If you’re already itching for that Northern Soul buzz - if your feet are halfway into your dancing shoes - here’s something to tide you over.

Our cinema is screening a documentary that dives straight into the heart of the movement: the all‑nighters, the sweat‑slicked dancefloors, the DJs who shaped the sound, the collectors guarding the rarest cuts, the community that kept the flame alive. A proper love letter to the scene - the kind that makes you want to dance in the aisle.

Warm up with the film. Then come and live the real thing with us.

Keep the faith - and keep your bag packed.

📆Wed 10 - Thu 11 Jun

If you love Sandra Oh (and honestly, who doesn’t), you’ll want to catch this.
We’re screening The Misanthrope (PG) in our Cinema - a National Theatre Live capture that’s all about truth‑telling, messy feelings, and the chaos that comes with saying what you really think.

It’s smart, it’s funny, and it’s a perfect midweek escape.

🪩 Deptford Northern Soul Club don’t just bring the tunes - they bring the scene.

Expect a room full of dancers who go hard from the first record. Expect deep‑cut 45s you haven’t heard in years. Expect Will and Lewis bouncing behind the decks, grinning like they’ve just found the rarest record in the box. Expect that moment - you know the one - when the whole crowd hits the same beat and the place lifts.

Deptford Northern Soul Club bring the sounds of Northern Soul to Gloucester this September. Get the date in your diaries, and start practising your high-kicks, it's going to be a good one.
