Hello all you lovely people,
we offer our wholehearted apologies for cancelling this night (Friday 13th March ) but due to concerns about the Corona Virus we think this is the right decision. We haven't reached this decision easily, but given the concerns about public gatherings, we couldn't go ahead.
We take the health & safety of guests, acts, staff and community very seriously.

We hope to be back in the near future & wish you all the best.

Kind regards,
