Cabaret Supper Club · Theatre & dance · Food & drink
Get ready to trade silent nights for soul-filled nights. This is Christmas turned all the way up.

From the first note to the final encore, SoulTown Collective delivers a powerhouse live show packed with the songs everyone knows and nobody can sit still to. Perfect for office parties, friends’ nights out, and festive get-togethers – this is not a background-music dinner. It’s a full Christmas night out experience. Expect: • A live Motown & Soul show that fills the dancefloor • A festive main course included in your ticket • Big vocals, big band energy, and wall-to-wall classics • A party atmosphere from arrival to last orders • A room full of people who came to celebrate — not sit quietly You’ll hear the hits that defined generations — the songs that get every table singing and every seat empty once the beat drops. Why this night sells out every year: Because it’s not just a meal and a show — it’s a Christmas party with a soundtrack everyone loves. No awkward silences. No flat moments. Just pure feel-good energy. Ideal for: • Staff Christmas parties • Client entertainment • Friends’ festive nights out • Anyone who wants their Christmas night out to actually feel like a party Tickets are limited and prime Christmas dates always go first. Once tables are gone, they’re gone. £49.50 per person – Main Course Dinner + Live Motown Show Book early. Bring your best people. Expect a standing ovation kind of night.

Why Am I Like This?

The Black Box · City centre · Theatre & dance · LGBTQ+ · Outburst Festival
The gays are absolutely everywhere. Through millenia of evolution, homosexuality has prevailed and gay babies continue to be born. But why? And even more importantly: how? Hester Ectomy is NOT a scientist. He’s a comedian with a Wikipedia account. And he wants answers. Developed through Outburst’s Brewing programme in 2025, this new full version of Why am I like this? unpacks the abundance of niche and outlandish theories around the science of what makes us queer. Born of boredom, self-indulgent curiosity and questionable research methodologies, Hester invites you on a journey of gay twins, gender identity clinics and horny elephants, in an interactive TED Talk that will probably leave you with far more questions than you came in with. Make sure your phone is charged and log on to the Black Box wifi to join in Hester’s audience opinion polls, as we ask: does your biology decide who you are, or do you? 18+ 18+
