On Saturday 11th April at 6pm, we'll join Eric Walters of Good Small Farms and Alex Clark of The Long Table Stroud at the farm table, as they discuss pricing, environmental responsibility, nutrition, and much more!

We all know that sustainably farmed and locally sourced produce is more expensive than industrially farmed and processed food. How are food prices set? Is organically farmed produce a better nutritional deal?  What are the factors that combine to put good food out of reach of so many people, and are there ways we could change that?

With an opportunity for a Q&A as well as a delicious meal featuring seasonal produce from Good Small Farms, this is an evening not to be missed.

Join Long Table on Saturday 4th April for a night of sonic explorations in the Sanctuary!

Their performance draw from research into alternative performance practices as a way of exploring the relationship between self and space. They create vast improvisations for voice and objects using live signal processing as an extended instrument. With DIY values at the core of this project, the due have self built a rig for their performances, combined instrument of electronics and objects, which constantly evolves with their work. The duo released their debut album April 2025 with Elektramusic Berlin in April 2025. 

They are joined by sound engineer and composer Emmy Lambert for this site-responsive installation, exploring the acoustics of the space through live spatialisation during the performance.
