It's ten years since Beth and Nigel re-opened the doors of Smith's, having bought it from the receivers after it went into bankruptcy. It’s been a *%!@ing long, hard and occasionally enjoyable decade, with three very *%!@ing complicated renovations under our belt, along with about 10,000 events. So we're going to have a *%!@ing big party to celebrate, reflect, bring the community together and reset and prepare for the decade ahead. Money earned from this wekend will go towards funding the next stage of our expansion. If you can’t attend but would like to contribute, please buy some $10 I Can’t *%!@ing Make It tickets.

Check in here for details about the program as it evolves but you can take it for granted there will be a sample of everything that goes on and everyone who gets involved here.
