Five things worth leaving the house for in Port Verrine this weekend. Written for this page — every venue and event is sample data.

Friday23 October

Student films on 16mm

Friday, 19:30

Harbour Cinema · €9

Four short films by Port Verrine film students, shot and projected on 16mm. About seventy minutes, with one break.

Why go: The students who made them are in the room — ask about the endings.

Saturday24 October

Ceramics at the market

Saturday, 11:00

Market Hall · Free

A dozen potters sell their own work from one long table. Bowls, jugs and a few odd things nobody asked for.

Why go: Hold the bowl before you decide you need it.

Quartet in the chapel

Saturday, 20:00

St Anne's Chapel · €15

Two pieces: one three hundred years old, one written this spring. The chapel seats sixty.

Why go: Sixty seats, four players, and a room that does half the work.

Sunday25 October

A first novel, read aloud

Sunday, 14:00

Quay Library · Free

A local writer reads two chapters, then takes questions. Under an hour, with tea.

Why go: Short, free, and home before dinner.

Life drawing, lighthouse

Sunday, 18:00

Lighthouse Studio · €12

Two-minute poses first, then twenty. Paper and charcoal are provided. Beginners sit at the front.

Why go: No one looks at your drawing — they are busy with their own.

That’s the week.
