Every month a group of film lovers will get together and show films connected with a certain theme. The theme can be anything so think big, think small and think anywhere in between. Ideas can be posted on the discussion boards and either booed or cheered and thus the new theme is decided.

This club is for anyone/everyone to get involved with, whether it is showing a film once in a blue moon to sitting front row centre for every single showing. If you want to show a film then send us a message and someone will get back to you. Alternatively, click the picture above to be taken to our Facebook group for regular updates on the up-and-coming events.

As part of Bradford’s involvement with the World Food Week the Treehouse will host it’s second food foraging day!

The plan is to meet at the Treehouse on the 17th, have a wander around Bradford’s green spaces and gather all the wild food we can lay our hands on. Then, with our arms full of goodies we will head back to the cafe for a cook up.

The cost of this event is either £4 (includes donation for use of cafe ingredients) or a cafe volunteer shift of three hours. If you intend to volunteer make sure you bring along your diaries and we can sort it out on the day.

It might also be a good idea to bring wellies, warm clothes and any food foraging books/knowledge you have.

All ages welcome. Children can come along for free.

Calliope of the Future

This Thursday will bring you joy in the form of…

Calliope of the Future – What punks sounded like in the 1980s. A group of amazing performers that have lugged a musical saw, accordion, double bass, mandolin, puppets and a fine pair of tap dance shoes all the way from Denver, Colorado. Definitely a must see.

Garfunkel & Simon – Bradfordian Anti-folkster. A Billy Bragg for the mixtape generation and a friend of Homemade.

Thursday 1st of October//7pm//£3 (Not for Profit)
