Bare Bones
Saturday 24th March & Sunday 25th March, 12pm-6pm
Peepshow moved studios in 2010. During the move, a box was unearthed in a long forgotten corner of the old studio: in it, we found an unidentifiable set of bones.
Extensive research has failed to reveal the creature they came from.
These bones are not human, nor mammal. They don't belong to bird nor even dinosaur.
Can you help us piece the bones together to work out what creature it might be?
Aided by our team of amateur archaeologists, you can create a unique relief print to take away and begin your own museum.

I DID NOT KNOW THAT!
The Peepshow Encyclopaedia of Things We Didn’t Know
With writer and artist Graham Rawle
Saturday 31st March & Sunday 1st April, 12pm-6pm
Did you know that emus can’t walk backwards or that Alfred Hitchcock didn’t have a belly button? We did. Did you know that Venus is the only planet that rotates clockwise; that rabbits can’t vomit; or that Barry Manilow is an anagram of Library Woman? We knew all of those things too. Why don’t you tell us something we don’t already know?
In our quest to compile a comprehensive Encyclopedia of Things We Didn’t Know, Peepshow invites you to provide us with a fascinating fact to add to our archive. It can come from the world of science, history or nature––or it could be something personal: your father’s hat size, the opening hours of your local Costcutter, or what your Uncle Roy likes to spread on his toast. From the astounding to the trivial, all of the facts we collect will be gathered together in a giant Peepshow online encyclopaedia, providing a fountain of knowledge to delight and enthrall all of humanity.
At the I Did Not Know That! workshop, each participant will be provided with an exciting jamboree bag ‘kit’ containing everything he or she might need to create a special collage, drawing, written message or mini-sculpture. Each completed piece of artwork will be photographed for inclusion in the online archive and displayed during the workshop in an ever-expanding wall frieze of little-known facts. Your contribution can play a vital part in building this extraordinary archive; The Peepshow Encyclopaedia of Things We Didn’t Know. Take part today!
