The Sideshow café/bar at One Thoresby Street will be hosted by Nottingham’s finest vegetarian café, The Alley Café.  Come in to buy a pot of tea blended by Lee Rosy’s, or have a coffee, soft drink or perhaps something a little stronger topped off with a slice of cake, pizza or bowl of soup and plan your Sideshow visit.  Various Sideshow commissions, events and exhibitions will be taking place in the Sideshow Alley Café including the Sideshow Launch & British Art Show 7 after party.
