Discord & Harmony KARST

Discord & Harmony brings together a group of contemporary artists who share Beryl Cook’s (1926 – 2008) radically generous approach to representing everyday life. Simultaneously considered one of Britain’s most loved artists while never being fully accepted by the establishment, Cook lived and worked in Plymouth and was celebrated as a chronicler of the every day.

Harry Baker: Tender

As in ripe for the taking.

As in a heart swelled to twice its size.

As in soft. As in delicious. As in ready.

World Poetry Slam Champion Harry Baker brings his characteristic warmth, wit and wonder to new parenthood. From introducing his baby to a horse for the first time, to trying to work out if the GP really did drop them on purpose to test their reflexes, Tender contains poems from the first hundred days of new life and celebrates all of the euphoria, panic and vulnerability that come with it.

Following on from the last two years’ 40-date sellout runs of Wonderful and Wonderful 2.0, he’ll even slip in some non-baby bangers too. Expect more laughter and tears than ever.

“Harry Baker’s intricate, quick-fire rhymes have always been on the impressive side of mind-blowing” - The Scotsman

“Spectacularly Witty” ***** (Whatsonstage)

“Blistering wordplay” ***** (Threeweeks)

“Not one syllable out of place” ***** (The Wee Review)

“The Spell Over The Audience Is Tangible” ***** (Broadway Baby)

“Simply put... The greatest performer on earth” ***** (BBC Radio 1)

Classics in the Dome: Top Hat (1935)

Classics in the Dome: Top Hat (1935)

Join us for our monthly Classic In The Dome session! This March we are heading to Hollywood... 🎥

Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers’ most refined musical returns in a setting that does justice to its sound, movement, and design.

Top Hat is a landmark of classic Hollywood - a film that helped rescue RKO Studios, paired Astaire and Rogers at the height of their powers, and redefined how dance could be filmed for the screen.

This screening presents the film on a flat screen inside Market Hall Plymouth’s Immersive Dome, using its 5,000-speaker sound system to give real presence to Irving Berlin’s score and the precise rhythm of Astaire’s tap work.

The clarity of the audio and the scale of the image bring renewed focus to the choreography, the Art Deco spaces, and the carefully designed costumes.

Screening details

  • Film starts at 7:00pm

  • Bar open from 6:00pm - arrive early for a drink before the screening

  • Relaxed seating on bean bags inside the dome

Two Day Creative Journaling Workshop Friday 6 March and Friday 13 March

An art journal is more than just a collection of random drawings – it is a vibrant tapestry, woven from the threads of your innermost thoughts, feelings, and experiences. Unlike a sketchbook – a trusty companion for honing your artistic skills with pencil, pen, or marker strokes on sometimes pristine pages — an art journal is a sanctuary for your soul’s expressions.
