Description

Barking Tales (the mental health comedy night) is back at our new venue. The show will start at 8:00pm but we'll be there from 6:00pm for you to arrive when you want. Plenty of time for all to catch-up / meet for the first time. No big rush to leave, either, and we'll remind you of the time of the last tram.

It's a small space though, so if we could have as clear an idea as possible of who is coming, that'd be greatly appreciated. Send us a message if possible, so we can set the chairs up.

If you've got ANY COVID symptoms then please keep yourself at home. Everyone's very good at not being all up in other people's space anyway, so continue to practice that too.

We have our own car park, right outside the entrance (on Cicero Street, do not trust Satnav as that will take you to Texaco garage).

If anyone is nervous of navigating the walking route from Derker tram station for their first try, let us know and we'll arrange to come meet you. We'll add some route maps, too.

January 5th we have -
