We meet in the Harlequin Theatre bar (usually) every Friday at 8:30.
The Harlequin Theatre is in Queen Street in Northwich, CW9 5JN
To get a local map, go to Google/Maps or www.streetmap.co.uk and enter CW9 5JN.
When the theatre company have a production (six times a year) or
some other event on, we
move to one of our second homes:
For the old-fashioned kind of directions, see below.
Find Northwich in your Road Atlas - it's in the middle of
Cheshire.
Look for the A556 which goes East-West from the M6 (junct 19) towards
Chester.
Where it swings south of Northwich, it meets the A533 just north of the
village of Davenham. Turn northwards here and follow the
signs.
About two miles later, you'll come under a railway viaduct arch.
There are two turns immediately on the left - take the second
one.
After 50 yards, there is a right angle bend to the right. This is
now Queen St and the theatre is half way along on the left.
The Harlequin Theatre has a bar area on the first floor which is
where
the folk club usually meet. However, for some nights we hire the
theatre proper which allows us to seat 96 people.
Disabled Access: The theatre has level access at ground floor
level including toilets. The bar is up a single flight of
stairs.
At Davenham, there is a ground level entrance with a small step.
If unsure, please ask us.
We have often used the Davenham Players Theatre and the Oakmere
Cricket Club. Occasionally, when neither is available, we might
relocate
elsewhere.
We have visited the RAOB Club, 52-54 Witton St. Northwich CW9
5AG and one or two local public houses.

This is another of those small soft-seaters that I like so much.
The stage is at ground level, and the seats rake upward fairly steeply,
so everybody is above you. There's also some standing room at ground
level
on either side of the banked seating. Above the seats through a set of
doors there's a cafe. It only holds about 120 people, but it is so
warm,
intimate and friendly (and full!), it felt like a thousand.
- Ok, so it only actually holds 96, but it is a great place to play, and when it's full, it buzzes!!!
