You are The Gift… it only works if you’re here.
Calling all brave pilgrims and curious seekers to a deep midwinter odyssey. We dare you to come exactly as you are, dive into the dark and co-conspire with a motley gang of maverick artists to create, engage, or sit back and enjoy an evening of magic.
Live music and playful performance will take over TOM. Every night will be utterly unique, steered by our collective genius as we choose our own adventure of feasting, creating, giving and receiving.
Inspired by the intimate exploration of Columbia’s Theatre of The Senses, the artful anarchy of America's Burning Man and the collective kindness of Berlin’s Social Muscle Club, THE GIFT is a celebration of the absurdity and wonder of being alive.
Book a seat (or a whole table!) for this new immersive experience where art meets food. Our talented cast of cabaret artists, clowns, musicians and performers will set the stage… then you, the audience, will share, create and play. A unique evening of performance comes to life, alongside food provided by Malo, Pie O My, and Cloud 9 Bakery. You can find out more about exactly what to expect in our FAQ section further below.
Leave with a full belly, a full heart and an entire village of new friends.
NUT ALLERGIES: Our caterers and suppliers take great care to avoid cross-contamination, but as nuts are used in their kitchens, we can't guarantee any items are 100% nut-free. All items listed on the feasting menu are without nuts as an ingredient, but made in a kitchen that also handles nuts. TOM’s Bar is nut-free.
OTHER ALLERGIES: Please email nic@theoldmarket.com with any specific allergies, and we can advise before booking.
DIETARY REQUIREMENTS: We’re not able to accommodate all requirements, but please do ask and we’ll see what we can do -nic@theoldmarket.com
