| Where: | Rose and Crown The Rose and Crown has sadly closed down this year. It was recently announced that the venue is under a 6 week consultation to find a community interest owner ahead of its sale. You can read more on this: Here The Rose and Crown has long been home to Morris dancing during the day and sessions into the early hours. We are sad to see the business and venue closed and hope they will be revived in the future. The dance spot lives on. The forecourt will still be used as a dance spot with the Waverley just opposite the war memorial to refresh thirsty dancers and spectators, Public toilets are behind the pub in the bus station.
The Three Crowns, just a short walk away up the Causeway, will be welcoming musicians looking for sessions over the weekend. Please see the sessions page for a list of welcoming venues. |
