soft spot & A4 Sounds present a cosy evening of fun for Halloween. Expect movies, a costume contest, chilling, and chatting.

Our social Halloween event is built with inclusivity in mind: If you want to celebrate but can’t afford the risks presented by other events this season, then this is for you! Masking indoors, air purifiers, and accessible portaloos are among the ways we’ve been able to make this gathering more accessible.

Come lie down or lounge around the gallery and find your soft spot with us.

WHAT’S HAPPENING?

Soft Scenes on the Big Screen

We’ll snuggle up together to watch a cosy season classic. We’ll have an abundance of soft spots for you to choose from, whether on a couch with friends, on a bed on the floor, or a cosy corner.

THE ORGANISERS 

soft spot

A group of covid-conscious ghouls and their pals who want to create ways to socialise more safely. Their goal is to make a softer spot to land by taking into consideration the needs of those left to the wayside. Blankets, cushions, sofas, and mats are always at hand. So lie down, get comfy, and have some fun

A4 Sounds | The Common Thread

The Common Thread forms part of our WOWTE Programme. It is a series of experiments and happenings that serve as an ongoing public discussion, drawing out shared themes and engaging audiences in an ongoing conversation about the goals and strategies of social change: what kind of society do we want and how should we get there?
