Mosh Tots Christmas Special

The Mosh Tots Band headline the hippest show in town on Sunday 30th November!

Aimed at children aged 0-8, Mosh Tots is here to introduce young people to the rockin’ world of live music in a safe and fun environment. We believe that live music should be for everyone, no matter your age. For too long live music venues have been off limits for young children and their parents. Mosh Tots flips that on its head and is an opportunity to share the joy of live music together as a family.

Tickets are on sale now at £14 for kids aged 1-8, and £7 for Mini Moshers aged under 1 – or bring an under 1 for a discounted price when they come with a child aged 1-8.

For every child ticket purchased, 1 adult goes free. Tickets are needed for any additional adults attending, priced at £3.50. This is so that we can manage event capacity and ensure that the experience in the room is the best possible one for all Tots and Moshers! 

Woman | Women

Lesbian relationships do not follow traditional societal expectations…

Woman | Women is a physical and comedic show that takes an academic deep dive into the fast-paced nature of lesbian relationships. During each performance, acclaimed performer, Rowena Gander, fuses performance art and physical theatre to ambitiously find and navigate a new and featured duet (relationship). The real time relationship questions links between pace, compatibility, attachment, and scarcity mindsets in lesbians and how those components impact the relationship a lesbian has with herself.

Performance followed by a short Q&A.

Age 13+ – Use of strong language, sexual themes and internalised homophobia.

Messy Grief: Smashing Ceremony with Lowri Evans

For Grief Awareness Week 2025, At The Library presents Messy Grief! A week of arts programming as part of Loved and Lost, a programme of work exploring grief, how we talk about it and how we live well with it.

For this special smashing ceremony, artist Lowri Evans has reimagined her project, Fragile Handle With Care, to explore the reasons why grief can be messy, ambivalent and uncomfortable. Celebrating mistakes, accommodating agonies and giving voice to pain, you’re invited to a special Smashing Ceremony.

Friday 5th December

3pm – 4:30pm

Crosby Library – Echalaz Room

Bring an item that holds significance for you in a cathartic ritual, smashing the item against the wall to honour all that we do to hold ourselves, and others, together when we have loved and lost. This is an act of holding up the pieces, not brushing them under the carpet, finding beauty in mistakes, embracing what’s broken or lost, and letting it go. 

When you book your place, please let us know what item you’ll be bringing to smash so we can discuss with you! 

Visit our website to book your place and tell us which item you would like to smash.

 

Messy Grief: This One Goes Out to the One I Love

 

For Grief Awareness Week 2025, At The Library presents Messy Grief! A week of arts programming as part of Loved and Lost, a programme of work exploring grief, how we talk about it and how we live well with it.

This One Goes Out to the One I Love is a loud, cathartic evening of choir meets karaoke!

Wednesday 3rd December

6:30pm – 8:30pm

Crosby Library

Select a song to represent a loss close to your heart. Whether your grief is related to a death, a break up, a job loss, a piece of spectacularly bad news or something more private, we encourage you to select a dedicated well known karaoke song for your experience, and sing it out with a supportive crowd.

Don’t worry about being put on the spot or being any good at singing. When it is time for your selected karaoke song, we will read out your request and your dedication, before welcoming the full room of people to sing along all together as a group. You can choose to be completely anonymous, or if you’re feeling especially brave, you can take centre stage.

Visit our website to book your free place and when you sign up, let us know your karaoke song ahead of time.

*Please note* if you haven’t submitted a specific song we won’t be able to provide it on the day but others will be available to choose from.

 

 

Gig Panto – Hoodstock ’25

We are delighted to present the first ever Future Yard Gig Panto, in collaboration with Off The Ground Theatre!

The year is 2025, and Robin Hood and his Mersey Men are distant legends of musical folklore. Once upon a time, they tore up the stage at the legendary Hoodstock ’99 festival. Since then, however, the music world has become a miserable place. The evil Sheriff has created an AI songwriting supercomputer in order to monopolise the music industry, and banned ANY form of live music including Christmas choirs, football chants, ice cream vans and even the bells of Birkenhead Town Hall.

With the masses left in silent despair, the Sheriff decides to cash-in and announces a new mega-festival, featuring all the worst of his AI generated bands – No Direction, Charlie A.B.C, Just a Beaver, Sabrina Plasterer and David Guetta. Only Robin Hood can save live music from disappearing; but to do so, he’ll have to get the band back together and play the greatest set of all time…

Join Future Yard and Off The Ground Theatre this Christmas for festive hilarity and hijinks! This all-new Gig Panto for live music lovers will be an irreverent, alternative panto done gig-style in the Future Yard Live Room, complete with a full live band playing music by the likes of Talking Heads, The Zutons, CMAT, Fontaines D.C and Pulp, along with the best (and worst) Yuletide favourites!

There are eight showings of this Gig Panto during December, with shows on Monday 22nd, Tuesday 23rd, Wednesday 24th (matinée), Friday 26th (matinée), Sunday 28th, Monday 29th, Tuesday 30th and Wednesday 31st (matinée).

For evening shows, the performance starts promptly at 7.30pm. For matinée shows, the performance starts at 1.30pm. The venue is open beforehand, with our kitchen service open from 90 minutes before the performance, and throughout.

The show running time is 1hr 40mins – Act 1 45mins, 15 minute interval, Act 2 40mins.

GROOL – RITUAL SHOW

Grool exists as a result of a lack of governance. Blending industrial, alt rock, and trip-hop, they sound like queer body horror and taste like the name.

Grool has developed a cult name in the Liverpool alternative music scene since its formation in 2022. Composed of members of other local bands, Grool is the culmination of the darkest depths of the members music taste.

On the 26th November they present a rare in the round performance they have called their “Ritual Set”. It is a dark and contemplative set that deals with the complexity of queer identity.

“Transition is like rebirth”

All profits go to Protect Scouse Dolls

FFO: Nine Inch Nails, Sneaker Pimps , Bjork, Maruja, Massive Attack, Place To Bury Strangers, Model Actriz, Sonic Youth, Gilla Band
