For one night only, Art Gene are hosting Barra Night Life- a free, bespoke night-time event taking place on Walney Island. An event bringing together Art Gene’s Allotment Soup and Landscape Working Party projects.

The exciting, alternative social event will involve jam making, a night of BBQ’s and bonfires, moth trapping, bat detecting, a walk in the dark and a late-night outdoor cinema with the chance to camp out on the community growing field.
