WHEN: Saturday 16 December, 7PM – 1AM

After a three-year break join us for the return of the hugely popular Uncanny Christmas, our annual fundraiser planned and executed by our resident community. For one night only experience Found Utopia, Primary’s antidote to the traditional Christmas party. We’re celebrating seasonal strangeness with live performances, themed bars, a not-so Christmas dinner, raffle prizes, a piñata, Primary merch, guessing games, music, and dancing into the night.
All funds raised through Uncanny Christmas support the ongoing maintenance of the building and help keep Primary’s studios affordable and accessible to our resident community.
