Eyes Peeled Presents: W: A Return to Oz & Q&A
Friday 3rd April 2026
Step inside a piece of South West nightlife history with this screening of W: A Return to Oz at The Ladder. This documentary explores the rise and fall of The Warehouse, a once-thriving rave venue in Plymouth that now stands as a silent, derelict shell.

Following the screening, there’ll be a Q&A, giving you the chance to hear more about the project, the history behind it and the stories uncovered along the way.
