Long Table Lates: Grace Lightman & Dear Robot
We’re excited to welcome the wonderful Grace Lightman to The Old Department Store on Thursday 5th November for the next event in our live music series, The Long Table Lates!
London born, Devon based Grace Lightman creates experimental indie pop that sits somewhere between the familiar and the unexpected, blending bold synth-driven worlds with intimate songwriting, playful ideas and a distinctive sense of character.
Known for her imaginative approach to production and storytelling, Grace’s music pairs experimental textures with melodies that feel instantly recognisable. Her work draws from classic pop sensibilities while pushing them into stranger, more futuristic territory, inviting listeners into a richly imagined, emotionally honest sonic work which is unmistakably her.
Support for this show comes from Dear Robot; the solo music project of Stroud-based filmmaker & composer Tom Jacob.
Timings:
Doors and bar open at 7pm, with the music starting at 7.30pm.

Long Table Lates: Old Spot
We’re delighted to welcome the fantastic Old Spot to The Old Department Store on Friday 4th December!
Old Spot (Rowan Piggott & Joe Danks) burst onto the scene in 2023 with a critically acclaimed debut album and a whirlwind UK tour, quickly establishing themselves as a fresh force in old-time music. Praised for their raw energy and expressive musicianship, the duo lit up stages across UK/EU folk, bluegrass, and old-time festivals.
Now, in 2026, Old Spot continue to push the boundaries of stringband tradition – digging deeper into the roots of old-time while crafting a live show that’s equal parts intimate and electrifying. Their forthcoming album, recorded in the Scottish Borders, captures this evolving sound with fresh material and atmospheric arrangements. Whether trading close harmonies, ripping into a tune, or experimentally reworking a classic, Old Spot captivate audiences with a sound that’s both steeped in tradition and boldly original.
Timings: Doors open at 7pm, with the music starting at 7.30pm.

Workbench Sessions
We are excited to welcome The Cirencester Workbench to The Old Department Store.
The Cirencester Workbench (TCW) is a welcoming, hands-on space where people can gather to learn & swap practical and creative skills. It brings together existing local forces for good - the Cirencester Repair Café, Makers and Menders, Dr Bike, The Men’s Shed, Cirencester Clothes Swap and Quin Woodcraft. Alongside existing sessions that these endeavours already deliver in the Cirencester area, TCW provides a new space and opportunity for additional sessions & workshops, that will allow these activities to grow, reaching more people, more often.
Drop in and join in with this session, no booking required.
