Sober Bar Launch
FREE TICKETS HERE
This night marks the launch of Damsel’s new and improved sober bar menu - not as an alternative, but as a permanent part of how we operate.
Our entire signature cocktail menu is now available alcohol-free, built with the intentional approach and balance as our drinks have always been. No compromises - just thoughtfully considered drinks for people who still want to go out.
More than that, this is a deepening of the space itself.
Acknowledging that social life looks different at different moments, and that a good night doesn’t depend on drinking to exist.
To mark the launch, we’re opening the room to womxn+ who are sober, sober-adjacent, or simply want better options when they don’t feel like drinking - alongside a handful of groups and communities who’ve been shaping this shift already.
Come and share a sense of what this space is becoming, try some incredible new signature cocktails and wake up feeling better than ever!
Doors from 7pm ‘till late…

Valentine's Workshop - Stitch a Fabric Heart
TICKETS HERE
Celebrate connection, care and creativity in this special Valentine’s-themed textile workshop, where we’ll be hand-stitching fabric heart ornaments using reclaimed and scrap materials.
This relaxed, welcoming session is an invitation to slow down and create something meaningful — whether as a gift for a loved one, a keepsake for yourself, or simply a moment of mindful making. You’ll be guided through a range of simple stitching and construction techniques, with space to personalise your heart using colour, texture, words or symbols that feel meaningful to you.
Working with textiles has a long history of storytelling, resistance, and care — and this workshop embraces that tradition in a gentle, accessible way. Using fabric, thread and hand-stitching, you’ll explore how craft can be both playful and emotionally grounding.
This workshop is suitable for everyone — complete beginners and those with prior experience are equally welcome. All guidance is offered in a supportive, pressure-free environment, and you’re encouraged to work at your own pace.
All materials will be provided, including fabric scraps, threads, needles and stuffing. You’re also welcome to bring small fabric pieces or materials of personal significance if you’d like to incorporate them into your heart.
You’ll leave with:
- A handmade fabric heart ornament
- New stitching techniques
- A calm, creative experience shared with others

TICKETS HERE
Social craft workshops run by The Hand You’ve Been Felt. Fun focused workshops aimed to bring people together and learn new unique crafts.

Writing with the Tarot
TICKETS HERE
Join us for a unique creative writing workshop engaging with the symbols and stories of the Tarot. In this session, we will draw 1-3 cards from either the major or minor arcana, and use these as a prompt for some creative writing. No tarot experience required, we want to open up the tarot to be a tool not just to engage with intuitively for divination but creatively as well.
Reading tarot itself is based in how we tell the stories of our lives, it’s a means to provide perspective and re-write our stories - as the world around us changes in ways we find ourselves feeling powerless to fight, it becomes especially important to facilitate the imagining of radical new worlds, weaving hope into our stories, and springing us to action. Although our most common decks are situated in a specific time and part of the world, the Tarot aims to be a map of universal symbols and experiences - we believe the best way to decolonize the Tarot is to engage and re-write its signs and symbols according to our experiences and cosmologies.
Whether you want to intuitively engage with the Tarot, or just want some interesting prompts for your writing practice, this space is for you!

Held in Tender Earth Workshop

Mark the approaching Winter Solstice with an afternoon of mindful ceramics, poetry, and connection.
In this workshop, we'll slow down together to honour the turning of the season with guided writing, reflection, and clay work in a warm, grounding space.
We'll begin with a gentle, meditative free-flow poetry practice guided by the winter solstice - setting intentions and exploring the cycles of the seasons through language and imagery. These words and reflections will guide the creation of your own handbuilt clay vessel, formed using accessible techniques and intuitive, organic shapes.
You'll then have the opportunity to add poetic lines, marks, or symbolic designs to your piece guided by your own creative vision, before choosing a glaze. After the workshop, I'll complete the firing and glazing process in my studio, and your finished vessel will be ready to collect within two weeks.
Your ticket includes: Guided automatic writing meditation / All clay, tools and materials / Hand building and surface design tuition / Firing and glazing of your finished vessel and Refreshments.
A mindful creative ritual to reconnect with the earth, each other, and the rhythm of the seasons.
