The wonderful SITA trust have blessed us with the resources to install a new heating system, disabled loos, insulation and a new kitchen! Â This will be stage one of our ongoing plans to develop the place as the (informal) venue for experimental arts in the city and operate year-round.

There are still a few events happening at the Edge in the meantime – the Strange Ways Cheapside Show is there until 12 July and there are some talks on 25 July which I’ll blog about later.
