A night of robot fighting and live music
LIVE ROBOT FIGHTING, 18:00
- Purpose-built machines do battle in a specially-constructed arena with the aim of immobilising each other
- It's just like Robot Wars except the robots there weighed 110kg while the ones tonight weigh 150g
- Full tournament (gold medal), Rumble (silver medal) and side event (TBC)
- Open arena from 19:35 - have a go on a robot yourself
- Get in touch ([email protected]) if you have your own antweight which you would like to enter
- We also sell kits to build your own robot - just add tools and imagination
HUSBAND CALLING CONTEST, 19:00
- Based on the annual contest at the Iowa State Fair, come on up and show us how you call your no-good husband to come here right now and/or tell him off. Loose definitions of "husband" and "calling". We will introduce it with some examples.
- £5 prize for the best call as judged by the host (if we get 4 or more entrants)
LIVE MUSIC
- THWACK!
Formed in the ashes of late capitalist hell (London, 2022), orchestral punk band THWACK! are a high-octane cocktail of camp with a political edge and an undeniable groove, bringing unabashed queer theatricality and raw grit to every performance.
Have you ever destroyed yourself for others’ entertainment?
