DINA is an alternative arts venue and diner with an ongoing mission to “make room for unheard voices and forms of expression”. The venue opened in its original spot on Cambridge Street in 2015 and, after its first few happy and lively years, in 2021 it moved to its new home in Fitzalan Square.
By night, DINA uses its event space to forge new creative partnerships and networks, playing host to a number of independently organised and inclusive meets, club nights and performances. During Off The Shelf festival, for instance, you could have caught local publishers And Other Stories launching their new publication here, while other regular collaborators include Girl Gang, local literature heroes Wordlife, and women filmmaker champions Reel Femme.
