EVENTS UPSTAIRS AT TIME OUT:
We are very sad to announce that our beloved Oscar, the Tonkinese, was laid to rest on Friday, 19 February, after a long battle with diabetes and pancreatitis.
A memorial was held on Thursday the 25th of February. Thank you to everyone who attended, it was a lovely tribute to Time Out's long serving and much loved mascot. He will be dearly missed.
Time Out recommends you see award-winning author Patrick Ness discuss his thrilling dystopian epic series, Chaos Walking: The Knife of Never Letting Go and The Ask and the Answer which has taken the young adult world by storm.
