A Madlove Take Over: back for 13th & 14th December.

13th Dec — 14th Dec 2019

After an overwhelming response from visitors, we opened up the Madlove Take Over space for a final couple of days before Christmas.

A Madlove Take Over ended on 30th November 2019, but after an overwhelming response from visitors we opened up the space for a final pre-Christmas get together with chats, care and free Brickie Brews on Friday 13th and Saturday 14th December.

Artist, mental health activist and co-curator of A Madlove Take Over, James Leadbitter (aka. the vacuum cleaner) will be hosting some activities over the two days, see below for more info.

Join us between 11am - 6pm on Friday 13 and Saturday 14 December in the Madlove Take Over Space, which is the old Argos store, Unit 2, The Hardshaw Centre, Church Street, St Helens, WA10 1EB.
