Enjoy live music every Saturday afternoon with three different acts each week. Discover regional talent across a range of genres. Entry is free!
Stay for the whole afternoon or just pop in – our garden is the perfect place to relax, enjoy the tunes and grab a drink or a bite to eat from our cafe bar.
Performances are outside, but if the weather doesn’t play along, we’ll move indoors – so the music continues!
