If you’re in the early stages of building something creative, or just want a night of inspiration surrounded by people doing exactly that, this one’s for you.

Canopy Demo Night is coming to Bath Spa University’s Locksbrook campus on 28th April. It’s a celebration of creative entrepreneurship with live demos, great conversation, and a party atmosphere.

Here’s what to expect:

• A fireside chat with Zillah Watson — former head of VR at the BBC, immersive storytelling innovator, and founder of Phase Space (you’ll get to try her VR headsets on the night!) and Coral Manton, artist-technologist and head of the Centre for Creative Technology at Bath Spa.
• A live portrait artist (you could leave with a drawing of yourself)
• Student and academic entrepreneurs demoing their boldest creative ideas
• A podcast recording live on the night
• Drinks, food, and tours of the workshops at Locksbrook

We’ll be showcasing the entrepreneurial activity going on at BSU and to sparking a conversation about the path to commercializing research and creative practice. It’s an evening to get inspired, make real connections, and be part of Bath’s creative and entrepreneurial community.

📅 Tuesday 28 April 2026
🕕 Doors from 6pm | Fireside chat with Zillah + Demos from 6:30pm
📍 Locksbrook Road Campus, Bath BA1 3EL
