Friday 5 December 2025 - The Scrooge Diaries

"In this revelatory exclusive, Ebeneezer Scrooge opens his Diary to expose the awful truth about Tiny Tim, the Fezziwigs, Jacob Marley… and that disgustingly jolly, gluttonous, consumer-driven Ghost of Christmas Present… as he reveals the truth behind a Christmas Carol and the vengeful, slanderous, upstart author of that novel. “A wickedly wild and witty play” "Peter MacQueen......curmudgeonly, penny-pinching and old before his time." "A Scrooge with depth, wit and humanity."

Saturday 8 November 2025 - Alligator Gumbo

Alligator Gumbo have been playing together since the summer of 2011. Based in Leeds, West Yorkshire, they have played extensively around the country to rave reviews - from rowdy bars to some of the UK’s most prestigious jazz festivals.

Playing jazz from the hey-day of the New Orleans swing/jazz era, in particular the roaring 20’s when music was raw and largely improvised with melodies and solos happening simultaneously which has now become defined as the ‘New Orlean’ sound. Alligator Gumbo strive to keep this style alive in their renditions of popular songs from this unique time and place.

A brilliant night in the Hall on their last visit and another much anticipated in November!

Get those feet tapping !
