We welcome in summer and explore all aspects of this important day in our annual calendar from the pagan to the political, from punk to folk, from the ordinary to the extraordinary. Climaxing with Paul Wright's mind blowing ARCADIA film which explores British folk customs and the eccentricities of the British people as they mark the passing of the year.

Also being served to the hungry is a fine selection of C/R/A/P/…. (cheese, rolls and pickle) to compliment the Cube's fine selection of teas, ales, wines and soft brews….
