Come and have a dance and enjoy some Hubbub warmth and fun!
Please invite family, friends and carers to join you.

Email info@hubbubtheatre.org for the Zoom link for Hubbub Club Winter Wonderland.

The Barn might currently remain closed to the public, but that's not stopped us getting trimmed up for Christmas!

A big thank you must go to the volunteers who helped us to set up the lights - as we're sure you'll agree from the photos, it was certainly worth the effort.

As the lockdown ends tomorrow, you can visit the gallery and see our festive exhibition 'A Natural Christmas'. Work has been online since the middle of November but from tomorrow it's possible for you to visit the gallery and see the work in the flesh.

Our opening times are Wednesday to Saturday from 10.00 until 5.00 and on Sundays from 11.00 until 4.00.

We have new ceramics in the gallery as part of our 'Natural Christmas' exhibition. The show is based around ideas of quality, simplicity, authenticity and thoughtfulness...
