I've got some connections with Cabaret that go back a way, and older Londoners may remember their museum in Old Covent Garden which included some of Tim Hunkin's work. They're part of a group of automata makers which include both Tim Hunkin and the creaters of the Ameca robot. If you don't know of Tim Hunkin, I recommend looking on youtube and a visit to his exhibitions in High Holborn and Southwold Pier.

Cabaret run workshops for automata makers and exhibitions of their members work (Cabaret act as selling agents for a number of automata makers such as Keith Newstead). Online and in-person.

This news bulletin lists several events that are coming up this summer and in 2027.
