About

Hi there!  This is Contrary Life, an alternative leisure guide for the whole of the UK.

We aim to bring you news of the smaller, quirkier, goings on across the UK.  Whether you are looking for a day or night out, or just something to fill a quiet evening with, then look no further.  Our blog covers all sorts of fun stuff from live music, unusual exhibitions, dance and theatre productions to brilliant reads by up and coming authors and interesting interviews with people who are passionate about what they do.

Got an event you would like to feature on Contrary Life?

We would love to hear about your event, so why not drop us an email and tell us all about it?  We like all things quirky from little museums, hidden galleries and independent theatre to people running around in silly outfits.  Just let us know when it’s happening, where it’s happening and how much it costs.  Oh, and don’t forget to send us an image or two as well!

Send your information via : [email protected].
