There's always something happening at The Art Bank - and this week is no exception. Whether you're into poetry, psychedelic folk or live Latin swing, you'll find something to stir your soul and lift your week.

Thursday 10th April – Poetry & Cake (7pm, Free Entry)

An evening of warm-hearted wordplay, laughter and lyricism. Hosted by the ever-welcoming Amanda, Poetry & Cake is an open mic night that mixes humour, heart and a sprinkle of magic-hat spontaneity. Whether you're reading or listening, you're guaranteed an uplifting evening with a wonderfully supportive crowd. And yes - there's actual cake.

Friday 11th April – Psycho-Acoustic Goat (Doors 7pm / Music 8pm / Tickets from £4)

A viola-wielding space goat? Why not. This psychedelic acoustic duo are like nothing you've heard before—think slap bass, soaring melodies and grooves you can dance or trance out to. Weird and wonderful, they're a stomping sonic treat.
