Meantime Events
Meantime is a programme of cultural events that take place in the Club Room on a Thursday evening during the winter months. Created to entertain and spark conversation during the darkest time of the year, the series includes interviews with authors and poets, independent film releases, alongside speakers with stimulating ideas and extraordinary experiences. The events begin when the clocks fall back in October and run until they spring forward again at the end of March.
Want to be part of the Meantime programme? Please send an email to our organiser, Fiona Morrison, with information about yourself and your area of expertise in relation to the Meantime programme.
