SUMMARY:The Luton Sleepout
DESCRIPTION:Because everyone in Luton deserves a home.\nSaturday 21st March 2026 \nWhen we think of homelessness\, we often picture someone sleeping rough. But across Luton\, homelessness takes many forms: sofa surfing with no fixed address\, families in temporary accommodation\, people fleeing unsafe homes. \nThis March\, three local charities are coming together to give you a glimpse of what it means to sleep somewhere unfamiliar; somewhere that isn’t home. Noah Enterprise\, IMPAKT Housing & Support\, and Stepping Stones are uniting for one night at Luton Point. Between us\, we support people across every part of the homelessness journey: from street outreach\, to emergency and supported housing\, to helping those escaping domestic abuse rebuild their lives. \nThis isn’t a simulation of rough sleeping. It’s a chance to step outside your usual surroundings and experience just a small part of what so many people face every day. Join us in the car park or inside for families and groups.

SUMMARY:Petroc Trelawny's Quiz Night
DESCRIPTION:Music on Mondays opens its 80th anniversary season with an unusual social event hosted by President of Luton Music Club Radio 3’s Petroc Trelawny. After a short introductory history of the club\, Petroc will interview one of our distinguished vice-presidents\, the composer Michael Berkeley. He will be invited to reminisce about his own associations with the club over so many years and perhaps those too of his father Sir Lennox Berkeley. Leading into the interval there will be a short performance by two of the talented young musicians who are to appear later in the season\, clarinettist Reynold Yang and pianist Ruiqi Fang. They will perform Michael Berkeley’s Flighting for solo clarinet and the Fantasia on Themes from I puritani by Vincenzo Bellini and Luigi Bassi. \nAfter refreshments\, the second half of the evening is devoted to a music quiz led by Petroc. It will in part be based on the content of his new best-selling book\, Petroc Trelawny’s Classical Music Puzzle Book; there will also be questions on the cultural life of Luton and in particular the recent history of Luton Music. \nThe event will be held in the church hall at St Mary’s Church LU1 3JF.

SUMMARY:This October on PLATFORM!
DESCRIPTION:After the success of our first PLATFORM event in July\, we are excited to present another evening of works-in-progress. \nPLATFORM is more than just a performance opportunity – it’s a welcoming and lively space for local Lutonian creatives to present works-in-progress and test out ideas with a live audience. \nEach event offers emerging artists the opportunity to develop their work in collaboration with peers and audience members who can offer insight and feedback. \nFor the audience\, it’s an intimate look into the artistic process — vibrant\, versatile and deeply human. It’s a place for the community to support Luton’s art scene and feel inspired. \nCome to share. Come to support. Come to be moved. \nAre you also an artist or creative practitioner? Are you interested in having a ‘platform’ to share your work? Please visit out our opportunities page to check for regular call outs for upcoming events. We’d love to hear from you! \nTo mark Black History Month\, we are prioritising applications from Black artists who live\, work and/or study in Luton for PLATFORM this October.
