Discovery Nights - Unplugged

*Tickets go on sale 1 June 2025*

6pm - 9pm

£10 + booking fee. Booking essential. 

For adults 

Discovery Nights are after-hours events for discerning adults offering fresh perspectives on the world around you.

In Discovery Nights: Unplugged we'd like you to join us to relax and unwind for an after-hours break from screens, distractions and the daily grind. 

This 'digital detox' evening will give you space to read, draw, write, craft and listen with like-minded people. 

With a bar, chilled-out music and a host of non-digital activities on offer, there’s never been a better time to ditch your phone and make real connections.

Bar and snacks available.
