We are really grateful to the organisations that have helped us make things happen since we started officially in 2014. Amongst them are:
The Holly Bush Pub and Arts Centre:

An independent arts venue that runs the smallest Comedy Festival in the world, possibly. Regular Thursday night comedy where stand-ups travel from afar to trial their material to undoubtably discerning Cradley Heathens. Hirings for music events, parties, and fundraisers at incredibly reasonable rates with Dave himself.
The Art Yard:
https://www.facebook.com/theartyard/
A community gallery with a rolling programme of open exhibitions showing a stunning range of artists’ work. Hire the gallery for solo exhibitions. Opportunities for artists of any creative activity. Slots for work experience. Art lessons available.
