In the run up to Christmas we always feature the hard to find books and other items that can only get in Atticus. This week it is books to read to young badgers. They are very popular this time of year and make excellent presents for badgerophiles.

Reminder that our next screening is happening tomorrow (Saturday 25th November) at 7pm at The Gregson Centre's Secret Cinema.

We are showing Muscha's 1984 cyberpunk dystopia Decoder, a cult sci-fi film inspired by the writings of William S. Burroughs and set to an industrial soundtrack featuring The The, Soft Cell and Einstürzende Neubauten!

We operate on a pay as you feel basis, and appreciate contributions towards managing logistical costs.

Feel free to share with people you think will be interested and we hope to see you there.
