What’s on

At the Ivy House, it’s a constantly changing scene, so we have an ever-evolving list of events that are updated regularly. But we also have a schedule of regular activities around which we work, from kids’ drama to knitting classes, from sci-fi clubs to Sunday singarounds.

Calendar of Events

  • Misty & Rufus Miller

    Thu 22 Oct / 19:30 / £10

    Renowned sister and brother musicians from South London, Misty and Rufus Miller perform as solo artists and in different bands, seldom as a duo.

    Tue 3 Nov / 19:30 / £7

    Dead Slow Hoot are an ever evolving, ever experimenting outfit whose soaring indie rock twists and turns in ways you never quite expect, built around the singular songwriting chops of frontman Hugo Lynch. Their 2025 album, Orbits Intervened, was one of our favourites of last year and we can't wait to hear what they've been working on since.

    They're joined by The Sunken Sea, whose soaring melodies slice through dense rhythms and syrupy harmonies to forge dusty Australiana tinged with lopsided jazz and post-punk.
