Crime Scenes

The entertainment at Standon Calling consists of a lot more than just the music. Committed to showcasing exciting artists of all ilks, we’re confident you’ll discover some intriguing art and performances of a different nature altogether in between checking out the bands.

Fans of literature and spoken word will be happy to hear that The Book Club Boutique returns again this year with its very own Speakeasy. Committed to their mantra of “books, booze and boogie woogie” expect dazzling wordplay and the odd shot of illicit hooch. Be prepared to snuggle up and cover your ears for Spoken Ink and their Crime Noir fairytales.

If you like playing with crayons and charcoal, you’ll adore Dr Sketchy’s Burlesque Life Drawing where art school meets cabaret. The Great Brain Robbery will be misbehaving throughout the night, all night, every night. We also warmly welcome back the criminally talented Heritage Arts Company to curate the interactive theatre. Needless to say, we’ve got lots more planned that we’ll announce in the coming months. You want clues? Of course you do. Just watch this space.
