Since opening in Oct 2013 Ramsgate Music Hall has built a solid reputation as one of the UK's finest small venues winning the NME's Britain's Best Small Venue award in 2015. In its short history the venue has hosted a diverse range of acts including Neneh Cherry, Sleaford Mods, Jungle Brothers, Beak and many, many more.
Well ! What a pleasant and unexpected surprise this music venue is and it,s on my doorstep in Thanet too ! We booked tickets in advance at a bargain £7 each to see a good band that I,ve recently discovered called Port Erin who I saw on their website were playing at this venue . If you like Radiohead/ XTC / Talking Heads then you will like this band . Most of their tracks are over 5 minutes long and this 3 piece band played very well on the night . As this venue is small and intimate , I was able to talk with Rueben - Singer/ Guitarist with Port Erin , and we had a great chat afterwards and I think that he appreciated my positive comments about his bands music incl their lastest album . You can't do this at some bigger venues ! The staff ( particularly the barmaid ) were very friendly and chatty . The bar is upstairs from the stage and is very quirky but in an interesting pleasant way Downstairs is where the stage is and the capacity for this venue I understand is approx 130 people . There is what looks like a permanent sound mixing desk and the sound was good on the night if not just slightly too loud . Another feature that I like about this venue is that you can watch what's happening on the stage on a screen upstairs in the bar area . I liked that original idea which I,ve not seen before elsewhere . There also was a projection show going on behind the band as they were playing which you probably would,nt get at other small music venues of this size . This definitely enhanced the enjoyment of Port Erin's performance in my opinion . I noticed that this venue proudly boasts that it has won the best smallest music venue in Britain award ! Well done to the owners who have obviously invested their time and money into this excellent music venue and better still that it is in Thanet too ! So , come music lovers of all types of music and get yourself down to this great little Music venue . I look forward to returning again for a gig very soon !

The Miller Centre is home to a non-professional Theatre Company which stages nine or so productions each year, most of which run for ten performances. The 186-seat theatre is fully air conditioned, has surround sound, raked seating, a licensed bar, induction loop and wheelchair access. Our website has full details of upcoming productions and performance times
I have seen numerous shows at this theatre and A Christmas Carol matched up to the usual high standards. A talented cast brought this innovative take on the classic story to life, leaving the theatre goer feeling full of festive cheer at the end. Excellent sets, costumes and overall production, plus comfy seating makes it worth seeking out future shows.

The Old Market is Brighton & Hove’s independent, high quality live theatre and venue. The Old Market (or, as we like to call it, TOM) is the best place to see a show. Our diverse programme includes live music, great theatre and innovative comedy, all of which you’ll enjoy in a welcoming and pleasant environment. For full show listings, visit our website. We look forward to welcoming you soon! Team TOM
We went to see a comedian at the venue and were impressed at the size. It is very small and intimate which made it ideal as a comedy venue. Would definitely go again.

Once an Art Gallery The Drawingroom housed over 400 original works of Fineart, however music has become the dominant driving part of my passion, we have live original music here every two weeks and together with a (book) writers groups as well as songwriters group, it is a gathering place for creatives. Housed in a 16th century building in Chesham, haunted by a kindly female presence who has watched over this home for years over 80 years that I know of. Some purring ghost cats slept on my bed, eight at one time, however, without my knowledge or consent, a guest took it upon himself to perform an exorcism here and it seems they have now moved on...Cheers Peter it would have been polite to ask! The building was initially constructed circa 1550 of oak, plaster and lath and has been added to in subsequent years. Some of the oak was probably from Spanish ship's timbers; this means some of the beams, are from trees now 1000 years old. For a majority of it's history, the building was a peasant dwelling and ale house, with a stable at the East Street end of the building where the kitchen is now located. It is also thought to have been the home to Lewis Carrol's 'Mad Hatter' Roger Crab, the 'Mad Hatter' of Chesham. Over the previous 30 years it has been an office and barber shop. The Drawingroom is also my home, whence it takes it's name; if you were here right now, you would be in my home, my sitting room, livingroom, My Drawingroom...and you'd be most welcome.
As Covid continues to suck the joy out of life, we appreciate even more the special places still standing - this is one of them so get down here and support both hospitality and live music before we lose them. Owner Richard has spent lockdown working to make The Drawing Room even more magical. There are now giant awnings and electric heaters covering the courtyard to weatherproof the evening gigs (10 pm curfew, lots of Covid precautions taken so you can feel safe). There are rugs on the chairs, a crackling chiminea and twinkling fairy lights. Everything from local ale and a deliciously warming hot apple and ginger, a very reasonably price veggie curry, yummy cakes etc etc. Before lockdown, The Drawing Room was known for hosting wonderful live music and Richard is fighting to keep this up. The result is a rare thing in this current climate - a few hours of uplifting magic where you can pretend all is well with the world. If you're new, call Richard first. Booking essential at the moment.

Arts and entertainment festival venue. A festival in one place with cabaret, circus, music and performance from all around the world. The definition of pop-up we're only here for a month and then gone for another year...

The West End Centre has been the creative heart of Aldershot for more than 45 years. This converted Victorian school, which has played host to Primal Scream and Blur, continues to host world-class touring bands whilst developing the grass-roots local music scene and supporting upcoming talent.
The 'Westie' is a fantastic venue, catering for all abilities & ages, with so many different things to take part in like pottery, sewing, painting & events like comedy club & music bands. Also lots of clubs like PAG Dance club for children with special needs. This venue feels like home, its local & the staff are very friendly & accommodating. I would definitely recommend the West End Centre.

Our first time watching a Changing of the Guard ceremony and I'm glad it was at Windsor Castle, We were up close as the crowd size is much smaller than Buckingham Palace and there is only a short 2'0 tall fence that you stay behind, so the view is not obscured
