The Kiln have allocated £10 tickets for Peanut Butter & Blueberries, a love story between two practicing Muslims who like being Muslim.

A love story unlike any you’ve seen before:

Hafsah and Bilal are not looking for love. She has her faith, her books, her dreams. Bilal…well he’s just trying to get through uni. Studying in London, far from their hometowns of Bradford and Birmingham, they find common ground over a peanut butter and blueberry sandwich. Just as their connection is growing, the past and social realities become harder to ignore. Between opportunities, obligations and injustices, will they be able to choose each other?  In her debut play, Suhaiymah Manzoor-Khan explores how to love when the weight of the world is on your shoulders.

The £10 tickets are for performances on the following dates: Thu 8, Fri 9, Sat 10, Mon 12 & Tue 13 August at 7pm.

You can also get £15 tickets for all performances dates: Wed 15 to Sat 31 August.

Please note that these tickets must be booked by Sunday 11 August.

Programme overview:

After two highly successful initiatives in Regent Street in 2022 and Carnaby Street in 2023, the programme returns for a third year!

Participants will take part in a two-week classroom-based creative business training course, followed by the opportunity to build and trade as a collective in their own pop-up shop in a central London location where they will showcase their work in a renowned shopping destination, meet customers from all over the world, help deliver engaging events and immersive in-store experiences and more.


Being part of a group of creatives will offer the opportunity to learn from others and form valuable connections for future collaborations and business development.

Who can take part:
The programme typically supports between 10 to 15 artists and creative businesses each year. Some of these can be a collective of artists trading under a single representative banner and led by one to three artists.
We are keen to feature a wide range of specialisms and disciplines, and showcase makers, artists and creatives who represent London’s vibrant and diverse arts and cultural sector.
We particularly encourage applications from communities who have been historically underrepresented in the creative industries. This includes Black, Asian and minority ethnic, Deaf and disabled people, LBGTQIA+, women, and low-income groups.
To be eligible to take part, you must:

Live or work in one of London’s 12 Creative Enterprise Zones. You can find out which Creative Enterprise Zone you’re in by using the postcode checker at the bottom of this webpage:

Our London project at AoC, is providing extra support specifically for London Chairs and Vice Chairs in the form of monthly in-person peer support events and a Co-Mentoring Scheme. This is thanks to specialist funder City Bridge Foundation.  

Our mission is:

  • To help enable more London Chairs to lead more effectively
  • For Chairs to have access to a London network for mutual support
  • For more equity, diversity and inclusion among London Chairs

We have a great programme of monthly in-person London peer sessions lined up for the Autumn, kicking off in September and our co-mentoring scheme for London Chairs is going really well too and the application process is open for that, with the next matching taking place in October time. We’re into the second year of our London Project now and we are focussing on our EDI strategy this year too. So lots going on.

Our updated London Project web-page can be found online here.

We’re so keen to get the word out to as many London Chairs / Vice Chairs / Co-Chairs and aspiring Chairs as possible and these events and co-mentoring scheme are totally free of charge.

It would be great to connect with you and tell you a bit more about the peer support events and mentoring work that we are doing with London Chairs.
