Cinema & Sips at Verity Lane Market

Looking for an affordable night out? Verity Lane Market’s free monthly cinema is a great chance to catch up with pals over a hall full of your favourite foods.

Ginsights at Big River Distilling Co.

We can’t think of a better way to spend a Thursday night than with a gin in hand with a swathe of local authors. This monthly series, a collaboration between Big River Distilling Co. and Paperchain Bookstore, aims to bring writers and readers together for a literary discussion in an intimate setting. A great combination!
