NEW for 2025! We’re excited to announce some lunchtime activities to keep you entertained. Don’t miss the B3 / BSAFE Recovery Arts & Crafts Workshop as well as music from record label Not Saints!

Half Measures is the one-man street-folk project of Arthur Perez. Launched in 2024 just after coming out of rehab, Arthur’s music unpacks the chaos of addiction, recovery, mental health, relationships, and the fragile process of rejoining society. ‘If I can make someone go “huh, I needed to hear that” and maybe laugh in the process, then I’ve done my job,’ he said.

Also due to take the stage is The Detox Factor, who said their ‘primary purpose is to inspire the addict who still suffers’. Click here to see The Detox Factor performing one of their tracks live.

Be sure to catch the craft and music sessions at lunchtime!
