What’s On

Calling all makers, creators, artists, and artisans among us. We are a creative community, so let’s show off! Please come and display (and sell if you want) your creations at our Winter market, after the Assembly on Sunday 3 November. To book a stand and ask for further information, please contact Astrid.

If you aren’t planning to run a stall, you have the opportunity to admire our community members’ unique and fantastic creations and get a head start on your holiday season shopping! Come and have a look and talk with the makers from 12 pm on Sunday 3 November. Be ready to be amazed, intrigued, and dazzled!

The point of Article Club is to challenge ourselves to read a diverse range of articles, share them with like-minded people and deal with our anxiety that we aren’t reading books.

Here is a recap of how the Club works:
1. We meet every six weeks or so in or near the National Theatre.
2. We vote in advance and pick two articles from a short list to read before we meet. Usually one relates to politics/current affairs and the other to history, culture or science.
3. We talk about each one for around half an hour and the beauty of Article Club is that we can think more deeply about the broader themes of a topic, and how well the article gets to grips with them.
4. We each give a score out of 10 for the articles that have been discussed.
5. We set the date for the next Article Club and sometimes adjourn to the pub.

Nearer the time Alistair (host) will create a Google form that you can use to vote for the articles you would like to read and discuss at this event.

Join us after the Assembly for lunch and board games! Keep an eye on the weather and event listing in case we need to change venue. Bring a picnic mat and food from home or the nearby shops. And if you have any portable games, bring them too. Newcomers are very welcome. We generally play short, easy to learn, fun games.

Hark! Come all ye mirthful to Sunday Assembly London’s annual seasonal singalong, Yule Rock!

Whilst we have been settling nicely into our new home at the Backyard Comedy Club in Bethnal Green, for one night only we return to the famous Conway Hall for the most festive night of the year!

We’ll be singing along to all your favourite Christmas classics once again, from Wham to Wizzard, with our inimitable live band. We’ll also be hosting a silent auction and raffle, with a delectable array of prizes on offer to get you even more in the festive mood. We will have a cashless bar serving alcoholic and alcohol-free beverages as well as the requisite mince pies.

We are absolutely thrilled to have as our host this year comedienne, songwriter, science presenter and ‘Voice of an Angle’ Helen Arney. Helen features regularly on TV, radio and in theatres across the world with her unique mix of stand-up, songs and science, with credits including QI, Blue Peter and the science comedy phenomenon Festival of the Spoken Nerd.

Come dressed in your Yuletide best! Sparkles, baubles, tinsel and of course, questionable Christmas jumpers are actively encouraged! This all-ages party will be full of joy for family and friends. Doors open at 7pm for drinks, with the singing and dancing kicking off at 7:30pm.

Yule Rock is brought to you by Sunday Assembly London, a secular community that celebrates life under the motto of “Live Better, Help Often, Wonder More”. It is a heart-warming and inclusive gathering, embodying the essence of Sunday Assembly’s core values of community, joy, and wonder. It is the perfect occasion for individuals of all backgrounds to come together, sing their hearts out, and revel in the holiday cheer without any religious affiliations.
