Lovley venue, outside and good atmosphere. Can get cold if windy so bring a jumper. You can buy blankets here to. Bar available. Great evening to watch live music
What a great evening. Pure Queen was the tribute band, and we thoroughly enjoyed it. Will be even better when the bandstand is full refurbished
