Don’t let the disgusting 11 degrees forecast for tomorrow stop you from coming out to get scrumptious soup and listen to awesome music and interesting speakers!
Soups are as of now officially announced, this month is going to bring you a cashew and chilli soup and a spiced sweet potato, spinach and coconut soup.
Also, the full runsheet of music and speakers is listed at the bottom of this email, so check it out and rock up for those things which most interest you… or just come for the whole night.
This month we will also have chai, moroccan minted tea, and a full bar featuring organic wine from the region and some local beer. Oh and delicious raw organic cakes made with love.
See you tomorrow at the co-op’s NEW LOCATION on Childers Street, next to the Street Theatre.
Love
