Harborough Culture Cafe

Harborough Culture Cafe is a series of informal talks covering different areas of the arts - music, performance, art, film and literature.  All profits are donated to Arts charities.

Come along if you would like to:

• learn more about different areas of the arts;
• meet people with similar interests;
• find out about local arts events and activities;
• and raise money for arts charities.

Recent events include:

• Film Soundtracks - Are They Heroes or Villains?
• A History of Fakes, Forgeries and Copies in the Art World
• Nordic Noir - White Nights, Dark Deeds
• In the End, We’ll All Become Stories
• Meet the Composer

One of our key aims in setting up Harborough Culture Cafe was to divide our profits at the end of each year between local and national arts charities which use different areas of the arts to make life better for people who are struggling in any way.

Our first three charities are detailed below, with charity registration details and links to their own websites:
