SEPTEMBER NEWSLETTER

SEPTEMBER Newsletter

September is here, but have no fear!  Because next month is October and that means only one thing ... it's SHOP's ... wait for it ... SEVENTH BIRTHDAY!

But, before that, let us enjoy September, or perhaps more to the point, let us enjoy our holeeedays at the end of September   That's right, toward the end of the month you'll be back in the loving embrace of SHOP-Mom.

Before that, though, we have plenty for you to feast on, and so ...

Secret Psychos: Review!

What can we say about SHOP's Secret Psycho event?  Not a lot actually, as if we tell you then it won't be a secret anymore will it?

Part of SHOP' 'Secret Series' (others include, 'Secret Cinema' and 'Secret Cafe'), this event took attendees on a psychogeographic tour of Bristol, taking in weird and wonderful sights that go unnoticed by most eyes.

Keep your eye on the blog, or sign up to the newsletter for future secret events.

August Newsletter!

In case you hadn't noticed it's been quite a nice summer so far (forget the bit of rain recently) so much so that in a SHOP first, we've been getting our double door on - that's right there are now two gateways to vintage heaven!

In other news, we had to postpone the Summer Cinema of the Steps, due to that unfamiliar wet stuff that fell from the sky ... a lot, but no fear - a new date has been set, so if you had been unable to attend the first one, you can now attend this one can't you?!


But hang on, that's not all, no! - our hugely successful secret events continue (see below for the next one) with 'Secret Psychos'.  Turns out you Shop-Clubbers love a good secret! Naughty Shop-Clubbers!

EVENTS

CINEMA ON THE STEPS!!



Saturday August 10th

8pm onwards (film will start as night falls)

If this looks familiar fro the last newsletter, it's because the July 27th date got totes rained off!

The date was postponed until the 10th August; same film, same time, same place.

And if you don't know what we're on about then here's the skinny:

SHOP, the Christmas Steps Arts Quarter and 20th Century Flicks have all teamed up to bring you a lovely summery open air cinema on the Christmas Steps!

Those of you that are familiar with what SHOP gets up to may remember that we screen photography stills and films, biannually for the Bristol Festival of Photography and to fill the gap between years, we have teamed up with 20th Century Flicks who will curate the event with their MASSIVE knowledge and love for films.

The bar will be provided by the Three Sugar Loaves and food from local micro-bakery, Tasty Mother's Tucker!

Keep your peepers on our blog and twitter for further info.

EXHIBITIONS

The Take It and Leave It Gallery


The Take It and Leave It Gallery at SHOP is now a month old!
