What’s on
Working in partnership and supporting the work of other organisations such as Arts and Minds, Cloth Cat, Poseiaindignada and Food Cycle means we can bring exciting new events to Inkwell regularly. You can follow our updates on Facebook, Twitter or view our Calendar to check upcoming events
Instrumental

Instrumental acoustic night, organised with Arts and Minds and Cloth Cat, brings you the best up and coming acoustic musicians in Yorkshire and from further a field. With the chilled out vibes Inkwell’s art space creates, Real Ale provided by Ridgeside Brewery and the live music on offer Instrumental is fast becoming the top acoustic night in Leeds.
Money raised at the gigs pay for music sessions in NHS mental health settings and proceeds from the bar help us to continue our service: providing a safe creative space and classes to people with mental health issues.

Secret Cinema screen outstanding cinema from across the genres and ages of film. From classics to animations, feature films, Film Noir, World cinema and anything that inspires, informs or entertains. Why is it called secret cinema? because the film title will not be made public until the screening. We will show you brilliant, maybe sometimes lesser known films or films you may not normally choose, but we feel confident that you will love watching them. Watch out for clues on our Facebook and Twitter pages in the run up to the evening.
Alongside our feature films we will also be screening short films made by local directors and our students at Inkwell.
Our main gallery space is the perfect place to unwind before the weekend so we hope you can join us.
Transforming with Poetry Evening
Every first Saturday of the month
From 8pm - late
Every first Saturday at Inkwell we host a poetry event organised by Poesía Indignada.
“The moral, political and economic inconsistencies of the capitalist system, that many artists had already been denouncing over the last decades, had turned out to be of a substantial nature and extremely difficult to solve. Poesía Indignada is a global publication and a digital amplifier for poetry of protest. We aim to add to the efforts of other platforms from a poetic perspective by sharing poems and translations of poems in different languages. ”
If you would like to read some of your poems in, please contact Tony Martin-Woods at transformingwithpoetry@gma
