Riots, work, trade, religion, illicit love, gay history – Old Market is seeped in History.

Vice & Virtue invites you to a series of talks by local and national experts on the many aspects of Old Market’s History. Third in our series is:

Sex Work: Myths and Facts

For some Old Market is synonymous with the sex industry. Representatives of the English Collective of Prostitutes will provide us with an insiders view of sex work in Britain challenging public perceptions & sharing information in the process.

Suggested donation £2

Beesting Events proudly presents: Beesting Vintage High Tea.

We will be transforming the magnificent Trinity Arts Centre into a beautiful summer picnic scene as the perfect backdrop for our lavish, luxury high tea.

PERFORMERS: Headlining we have the amazing Missy Malone – we also have the extraordinary talents of the gorgeous Poppy Raine, Tuesday Laveau, Valeska Faye, Oh Carolina and Ana Kiss. Beesting’s resident compere, Poppy Von Tarte will be our glamourous host, assisted by our stage kitten, the inimitable Ivana Van Der Fluff.

THE FOOD: A twist on the traditional high tea – created by our talented chef, Brendan Baker, who has worked at some of the South West’s most prestigious hotels and restaurants, will be moonlighting from his main role at River Cottage for the evening. All food will be directly and locally sourced from our contacts at farms, allotments and growing projects around East Bristol. Delicate finger sandwiches with sensational fillings – to include our very own home-smoked meats and the best local cheeses; sumptuous, lovingly-made miniature cakes and scones with clotted cream and a selection of jams.

THE MUSIC: The Cat’s Pyjamas, a truly incredible 1940s doo-wop vocal trio will be singing for their supper, and an electro-swing soundtrack will see the night through.

EXTRAS: We will have a selection of stalls selling everything from art to clothing. We will be running our regular raffle, to raise funds for St Werburghs Community Centre, helping them to provide free cooking, gardening and computer lessons for people living in the deprived areas of Bristol.

Tickets advance only. -** Limited Early Bird Tickets Now Available!! – Just £21!! Only 20 available so hurry!**

A right bag of kooky weirdness. The work of New England’s Merrill Garbus, it’s all jarring guitars, African yodelling and clanking great drums. It sounds like it should be a horrible mess but her tribal post punk is actually terribly compelling.

Plastic Dot

The Polyphonic Spree is a self-described “choral symphonic rock” group from the Dallas, Texas area. The band generally consists of a 10-person choir, a pair of keyboardists, as well as a percussionist, drummer, bassist, guitarist, flautist, trumpeter, trombonist, violinist/violist, harpist, French horn player, a pedal steel player, theremin player, and an electronic effects person. Individual members and the number of musicians vary because of the flexibility necessary in travelling with such a large band. Tim DeLaughter is musical director and contributes lead vocals, as well as keyboards, guitar, and percussion.
