JANUARY LISTINGS

LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, welcome to 2022!! We’re incredibly proud to open our doors for yet another year and we’re primed and ready to offer you our magnificent range of live entertainment and social revelling. We’d like to thank you all for your patience with our events over the winter period as several of them had to be unfortunately postponed. As such we’ve been holding off on advertising our January calendar until we had more of an idea of what to expect from the month ahead but we can now present it to you with confidence. So here it is!

A massive shout of respect to all the talented and dedicated performers in the North East and beyond who we will proudly welcome to our venue this year, and of course to all of you who have chosen us as the setting for your parties, meetings, game nights, classes and anything else you have brought to our humble bar; we literally couldn’t be doing what we love without you all. Here’s to a fantastic 2022!

Wed 5th: It’s our Weekly Pub Quiz! Join our quizmaster, Danny ‘Eyeballs’ for a special, and probably not all that serious, look back at 2021.
