Welcome to our calendar page.

Listed within are all our events and exhibitions which are open to the public unless specifically noted otherwise.

The Library may also have to close on some Thursday evenings due to private hirings, etc.

To book online for an event please click the link which will take you to our EventBrite page (please note there is a small admin charge of 78p - 83p per ticket added by EventBrite).

You can also book for events by telephone, email (admin@theportico.org.uk), or simply call into the library.

As well as finding details of our events and exhibitions below, you can also follow the links to our dedicated pages for the Portico Prize for Literature and Portico Young Writers’ Prize

If you are an artist and you are interested in exhibiting with us please let us have a small selection of either jpegs, photos or prints with a CV/short biography (by post or email). Although we do charge a small fee and commission these are negotiable and you are more than welcome to contact Charlotte Wand for an informal chat.

Something for everyone
