Every second Thursday of the month, we host a social meet-up with creative inspiration and an opportunity to connect and learn how we can support one another's work.
This month we will be discussing how taking part in artistic activities can be healing.
- What: Friendly get together, with bar and talks from interesting creative speakers
- Where: Patch, 5 – 6 Grays Yard, Springfield Rd, Chelmsford, CM2 6QR
- When: 7-10pm, Thursday 11th July 2024
From 7pm – People begin arriving.
7-7.30pm – Getting drinks and meeting fellow creatives in the bar space, serving soft and alcoholic drinks (we only take card payments). There is a relaxed, friendly atmosphere, and also space outside of the bar to be by yourself or with smaller groups.
7.30-9pm – People move through to the presentation space, to hear from the speakers. Many use power point presentations, and some give performances. There is a Q&A at the end, giving an opportunity to ask questions of the speakers.
9-10pm – Some people choose to leave at 9pm, others choose to stay to informally catch up further. The bar is open until 10pm.
