Birthday Celebrations

Would you believe Union St has managed to exist for TEN YEARS?! Celebrations are in the pipeline, and to start with, lets get the date in our diaries.

On the 10th of the 10th we'll get togther to mark our 10th anniversary, so that's 10/10/24... and as part of the evening we'd like to invite you to join us in visiting a live show together, called "Three Acres and a Cow" at a venue which just around the corner in the city centre.

Three Acres And A Cow connects the Norman Conquest and Peasants’ Revolt to contemporary issues via the Enclosures and Industrial Revolution, drawing a compelling narrative through the people’s history of England in folk song, story and poem. Come and share in these tales as they have been shared for generations.

"Everyone should see this show" George Monbiot

Union St has purchased 20 tickets which will be subsidised by 25% to make them slightly cheaper, so if you're a Union St member or collaborator then please do put the date into your calendar and get your ticket here.

If you're not yet a Union St member then you should still come! At their last tour we went as a group social and the feedback was really positive, with people suggesting that we should go again and invite everyone else. Find out more and book your ticket here

Social Pickle Workshops

A social fermentation and preservation project out of Sheffield, Social Pickle are bringing their new series of workshops to Union St in September and November...

As part of their Acid Seasons series, in September participants will learn to make Apple Cider Vinegar using the season's bounty of locally scrumped Sheffield apples, contributing to a communal pot as well as making your own to take home with you. You can find more info and register for you tickets here.

In the final Acid Seasons workshop of the year, the session will capture autumn and winter roots in Social Pickle's version of the spicey and pungeant tonic called Fire Cider, with more info and tickets here
