Creative Drinks is a monthly social for York's creative community. This year, we're teaming up with creative communities around the city to join more creatives together! This month we're teaming up with Moral Panic to bring you a creative cabaret! Expect to enjoy various acts throughout the night with an hour either side to mingle and meet new people! Come along to enjoy a drink, meet some new people and expand your creative network. There's no set agenda, no talk, no sales pitches, just grab a drink (alcoholic or non!) and strike up some conversations. Whether you're a student, a young professional, a seasoned pro, or a retiree - all are welcome! (Under 18s must be accompanied by an adult). We're a friendly bunch so please don't be intimidated to come alone if you don't have a friend to bring, many people come alone and so you won't be the only one.
