At the upcoming event, guests will have the unique opportunity to witness Jessamin create a large canvas live, capturing the essence of her dynamic artistic process. The experience will be further enriched by the soulful melodies of Chloe Josephine, providing a harmonious backdrop to Jessamin's creative expression.

“I don’t sing because I’m happy. I’m happy because I sing.” Singing is really good for you. It improves your mood and gives you a feeling of energy. But singing as part of a group is even better! It helps bring communities together and improves mental health and happiness. You are invited to join us for tea and cake on a Sunday morning and a good old-fashioned sing-song. Everyone welcome and no experience necessary. Jill Davis will lead the group through a gentle warm up and teach you some beautiful songs so you can enjoy your voice in harmony with others. Do come if you can – it would be great to get a full house in. This will be a wonderful and inspiring way to spend a Sunday morning. Spaces are limited, so please do book in advance. 10:00 to 12:00. Just £3. Information Source: Temperance | eventbrite

Join award-winning performance storyteller Jason Buck for an evening of short stories, written by the infamous British occultist Aleister Crowley. His stories are a peep into the hedonistic early twentieth century world of Mr Crowley, full magical symbolism, demons, unearthly creatures, and very risque happenings, so this is a strict 18+ only show. Relax in the bohemian gloom of Temperance café-bar's basement performance space and enjoy a drink before and during this intimate and immersive one-man show. Arrive early to get your drinks, ready for doors open at 7:15pm and a 7:30 start. Ages: Adults only (18+) My friends and I saw Jason in Leamington last night and I was absolutely blown away. It was my first time at one of his events and I was on the edge of my seat the entire time. I can't recommend these events enough. Erika, Leamington Jason, you really are a wonderfully creepy b*stard. Nathan, Leicester Information Source: Temperance | eventbrite
