Happy 100th Birthday
Sir David Attenborough!
Do you love Sir Dave as much as we do? Profess it to the world with a big shiny platter! Commemorating 100 trips around the sun for him AND his beloved Planet Earth, this unique charger features a portrait of the man himself, along with some very rare vintage animal transfers and a compelling quote...
"Real success can only come if there is a change in our societies and in our economics, and in our politics."
Time for a Spring Clean!
Some of our more unusual items can take a while to find their forever homes, so we've decided to help some of them along their way, making space for some fresh new pieces we've got coming soon. There's some great deals to be had, with up to 50% off some bits. As always, there's more on offer in store, but you can shop our sale online now »
The People's Comedy:
A Short Story
The People's Comedy is our longest running regular event. Eight years on from it's conception, this award-winning socio-political stand-up night is still bringing the revolutionary comedy to Stokes Croft (and St George, and Brixton) - and paying all their acts fairly! Read all about it »

Through the Lens
We've been taking advantage of the spring sunshine to get a bit more paint on the side of our HQ building, and do some window maintenance whilst up there. Massive thanks to Mike, Chelsea & various volunteers & friends for making it happen!
These delicate flowers have just sprung up in our big yard planter. Ain't nature great!
From inside to out! Fresh from a stint in the People's Art Fair, Dan Petley's "You Must Change Your Life" is now looking over Turbo Island.
"Let Them Eat Fish", though surely it should say Let Them Eat Hake! Brixham does Banksy.
