Ceci n'est pas une pipe Pipe and Slippers is South London's premier cultural afternoon - a mix of music, stories, poetry and lounging about. Variously described as 'the most important literary event in South London since Marlowe died' and 'a jolly nice afternoon', we offer top quality performances without stifling reverence. The inaugural Pipe and Slippers took place in November 2005. Now the event runs quarterly, always on a Sunday afternoon, usually in a Victorian style theatre pub called The Ivy House. It's the perfect place to relax - the pub boasts comfy sofas, roaring fires, tasty beers, gold lamé curtains, and nice cups of tea. Pipe and Slippers brings you all that, and fine entertainment too. So, if you want to know more about forthcoming P&S's then sign up to our mailing list (at the bottom of the homepage). We'll keep you posted on the latest shenanigans. And we are always interested to hear from new performers too, so, writers and musicians, check the 'contributor's guidelines' and get in touch if you are interested in performing. Come, be merry, light up your pipes. You won't regret it. Patrick Steel and Tom Levine Let the Golden Age begin
