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 has moved to the Upper High Street.

The Three Crowns, just a short walk away up the Causeway, will be welcoming musicians looking for sessions over the weekend.
The Wine Monkey in the Borough Parade, back towards the bridge also welcomes musicians and singers for informal sessions.
The Old Road Tavern will be pleased to welcome visiting musicians looking for an Irish session.

Please see the sessions page for a list of welcoming venues.
