Our talented mixologists have drawn inspiration from the diverse cultures and ingredients found along the Silk Road to create a collection of six extraordinary cocktails. Each libation represents a specific stop on the route, paying homage to the local spirits, spices, and flavors that defined that region. From the exotic spices of the Middle East to the fragrant flavours of China, each cocktail is a fusion of tradition and innovation.

Complementing the Silk Road cocktails are a carefully curated selection of small bites that are designed to harmonize with the flavors of each drink. These culinary delights take inspiration from the local cuisines encountered along the journey, with ingredients and techniques that amplify the taste experience. As you sip your cocktail, each bite will transport you deeper into the heart of the Silk Road's heritage.

 

 

 

 

 

Embrace the Adventure

 

Our Silk Road Cocktail Tasting Experience is more than just a night out; it's an exploration of history, culture, and flavours.

The Gods The Gods The Gods

 

We are so excited to be welcoming back Alex Wright and Phil Grainger- who were last seen in Holbeck with the amazing Orpheus- with the epic The Gods The Gods The Gods.

Performed as a 12 track album, The Gods The Gods The Gods is an exhilarating weave of big beats, heavy basslines, soaring melodies and heart-stopping spoken word
 
The 65-minute show weaves together 4 stories: Two kids meet out dancing, they’re set to fall hard; A woman is on a beach, alone at night, looking at the stars; A bloke is on a bridge, thinking about jumping, just before dark. It’s a show about what we continually look for outside of ourselves, and what we might find in those people who surround us.
 
The Gods The Gods The Gods is the third show in the internationally acclaimed series of Myths from the two ‘masters of storytelling’ (Fourth Wall) Wright&Grainger. Following their multi-award winning tellings of Orpheus and Eurydice, Wright&Grainger call us to the crossroads where mythology meets real life.

Sucker Punch

 

Written by Roy Williams

 

Two best mates, Leon and Troy, have spent their youth growing up in a boxing gym, figuring out a place in the world, vying for the approval of Charlie, their trainer.

 

Soon Leon and Becky, Charlie’s daughter, are trying to keep a big secret in a ruthless world. But there can only be one winner, and it’s time everyone stepped into the ring to face up to who they really are…

 

This tender, bruising and funny play by leading British dramatist Roy Williams, brilliantly explores being young and black in the 80s. Winning the Alfred Fagon Award, The Writers Guild Award for Best Play and nominated for an Olivier for Best New Play, it first opened in a sell-out production at London’s Royal Court.

 

A regional premiere of thrillingly staged event theatre, from an exciting partnership of theatres, touring nationally.
