Come join us for a witchy, kitschy, bitchy Halloween, as we have a trio of delights on offer for your spooky sensibilities. A film, Drag and live music, what more can you want? 

 

7pm Film: Witchfinder General. A British folk horror film set during the “witch” trials and is a heavily fictionalised account of the self named ‘Witchfinder General,’ Matthew Hopkins. This low budget film became a classic cult film although please be aware that this film contains a lot of depictions of violence.

 

8:30pm Drag: The DGA are a chaotic, DIY, punky collective of Drag performers and community who platform seasoned performers alongside first time performers who join their collective. They are going to bring to you a chaotic series of Drag spooky performances from their members. 

 

Music: Bitchfinder General. A queer punk band from Newcastle who released their first EP ‘No Thoughts Just Vibes’ June 24. Filled with energy and a genre-bending take on punk from punchy no-wave and garage-esque tunes to meandering psychedelia, they are sure to make an impression. With songs like ‘Bitch Trials’ and ‘Slasher Movie’ they are perfect for a Halloween evening.
