After a short summer break the Sumac Centre opens once again for it's usual foray into politicizing, drinking, dancing, growing, eating and meeting up with similarly minded people. 

We're kicking off in August with a handful of events to engage, enrage and empower.

We have three Anarchist Black Cross fund-raisers, each to raise money to support those who have been imprisoned for their ideas, beliefs and their realtionship to the state. 

On the 25th Belgian dub punk band Cop on Fire will be playing a benefit gig in support of antifascist prisoners.

On the 27th it's another punk night which will be accompanied by the first of the Saturday People's Kitchens. 

On the 28th there's going to be a Hunt Sab skills day for those of you inspired and energised enough to come and learn what it takes to sab some hunts.

On the 30th a night of feminist related DIY music and food starting from 6pm.

Then in September we'll be having an Introduction to the Sumac Day on Saturday September 17th. A full day of skillsharing on how the hell to run the Sumac centre.

We'll be having sessions on the library, the kitchen, the bar, the finances, how the Sumac is legally set up and how it is practically organised.

We welcome all people old and new to come and join in.

We're hoping it'll be an opportunity for more people to understand what the Sumac is and how people can get involved and take ownership of the space.  

We'll end the day with a big old people's kitchen where we can plan where the hell the Sumac is heading over the next few months and years, what people are up for for organising and how we can make best use of the wonderful space we have.
