Returning to the stage after its ★★★★★ Camden Fringe debut
Val and Hugh are hosting Nell tonight: Val’s oldest friend, and the most obnoxious house guest imaginable.
As Nell’s bizarre provocations, backhanded compliments, and tales of absurd violence pile on over the course of the evening, her visit becomes a mission of disruptive spiritual truth-seeking, exposing parts of Val and Hugh’s lives that are usually kept in darkness.
So, This Is What Happened is back! Our popular storytelling night returns.
Connection is more important than ever, so we invite you to laugh, cry and celebrate stories from the lives of real people.

Clapham Common Jazz Club is a new series of monthly jazz evenings, hosted at Omnibus Theatre, bringing dynamic and soulful jazz to South West London. Featuring musicians regularly playing in top venues across London, this is the perfect way to spend a Sunday evening!
The East West Sextet perform a relaxing and varied mix of classic jazz standards, ranging from latin and bossa nova tunes written by the likes of Carlos Jobim to familiar jazz ballads and swing numbers from the 1940’s onwards. The regular line-up includes Pete Lyons (tenor sax), Mark Phillips (trumpet), Nikash Hurkoo (guitar), Harriet Hu (piano), Rob Miller (double bass) and Felix Schott (drums). Just perfect for a leisurely Sunday lunchtime’s entertainment in the Café Bar!

School of Desire consists of jazz vocalist Arzu Kibris and her accompanying international group of jazz musicians. The mainstays of the band are:
Pete Lyons (Tenor Saxophone)
Peter Dews (Piano)
Daniele Bortolotti (Electric Bass)
Chris Bloomfield (Drums)
School of Desire performs songs from the classic American songbook of the mid-twentieth century (classics by composers such as George Gershwin, Jerome Kern and Cole Porter), as well as some well-known and not so well-known bossa nova numbers from Brazil. They play in a relaxed and approachable style.
The name “School of Desire” refers to the fact that so many of these songs are about love, loss, and longing – but, of course, they also have their moments of exhilaration and joy.

Captain Swing and the Blacksmith is a riotous performance of passion and tragedy, brought to life with spellbinding voices, fiddle and accordion. With folksong, traditional and new, the show tells the story of a young button seller in the 1840s, against the backdrop of the agricultural uprising: ‘The Swing Riots’.
“Julia’s artwork captures the energy and rhythms of nature. She does not represent the surface of nature as most artists do, but the underlying essence of it.”
— Dan Dower, Dower & Hall
This observation sits at the heart of Julia’s practice. She is less interested in painting a landscape as it appears, and more in expressing how it feels. Much of her inspiration comes from her enduring love of the sea.
Working primarily with alcohol ink, metallic leaf and resin, Julia allows the art materials to move freely before guiding them into balance. The inks flow, collide and disperse like tidal currents. Metallic elements catch and fracture the light. Resin preserves motion within stillness.
At their core, these paintings are about inviting calm into a space.
Alongside these works are Julia’s most recent collection of cyanotypes with gold leaf. Using sunlight as part of the process, these pieces feel more distilled — oceanic impressions rendered in deep blue and light. The addition of gold leaf introduces warmth and luminosity, echoing the way sunlight strikes water.
Together, these bodies of work reflect both movement and stillness — an ongoing meditation on the sea and its enduring rhythm.
Magdalena Del Mar is a visual artist and a London resident for the past 20 years. She was born in Poland, where she gained her art education and first artistic experience. She exhibits regularly, and her work is closely linked to her passionate interest in art therapy.
Her paintings echo water-based scenery. The colour combination of various shades and hues of blue and green creates an atmosphere of serenity. Magdalena’s artwork focuses on mindfulness and the positive impact of art on mental health.
