Celebrate Summer with Our Unmissable July Lineup

We’re excited to welcome back Joan As Police Woman, who last performed at Brewery Arts in 2022. She returns with her new album Lemons, Limes and Orchids, a bold infusion of Jazz and ambient influences. Legendary Scottish trailblazers Peatbog Faeries also make a return, bringing their glorious mixture of traditional sounds and dance-floor grooves. July marks the start of our free live music season in our garden with Summer Sundays. Kicking things off are Dilutey Juice, the North-East drum and brass pioneers!

Our celebrated Community Dance Platform takes place on the 5 July. Join us for a fantastic evening as our students take to the stage for one night only, showcasing their talent and creativity. Step into the halls of East High with Kirkbie Kendal School as they perform the classic High School Musical on the 8-11 July.

Our creative learning workshops continue with Introduction to Stained Glass and Painting A Portrait In Oils, both starting on 5 July. Our social workshops continue in July with Art In The Bar and Crafternoon Brew, a great way to get creative and meet new people.

We’ve made changes in our Bar & Restaurant! We are now open every Sunday, serving food from 12-6pm (bar open till 7pm). Our new main menu features an array of fresh dishes and midweek we’re offering a £10 Pizza and Burger menu for everyone to enjoy. Book a table today!
