Friday Late at V&A is a chance to explore the current and latest exhibitions and experience the fun and excitement of live and interactive events based around it. This month’s Friday Late was all about the bicycle not just being a method of transport, but to many – a way of life. We took our small bicycle powered cinema and showed three very cool films.

On the 18th December we packed up the cycle generators and headed West to an evening of festive film, fun and fundraising in Bristol. Our destination and venue was the outdoor big top at The Tobacco Factory and our mission was to raise funds for Purple Field Productions, long-standing friends of ours who are based in Bristol and whose good work we greatly admire. They produce educational films for those less fortunate than us in the developing world (please check them out and support them!).
