Tickets will also be available on the door (cash payment, no cards), but we encourage you to purchase in advance please. Performers and primary school age brothers and sisters do not need to purchase a ticket. The venue is suitable for all the family but please bear in mind the volume level of a live gig if bringing younger children.

Where do we need to go?

The Rock Gig takes place ‘Upstairs’ at the Southern Maltings in Ware (Kibes Ln, Ware SG12 7BS). There is a car park outside the venue with a parking metre, so please ensure you have done your parking.  

Please note: This room is on the first floor of the Southern Maltings building. Currently, there is no access via a lift. Please email music@simonballe.herts.sch.uk if you have any concerns regarding your ability to access the venue. 

Bands should arrive at 6.30pm and we would ask all the audience to arrive by 6.50pm for a prompt start at 7pm. 

What do performers need to bring?

Please bring your own guitars, straps, picks and drum sticks. We will supply leads, amps, mics and a drum kit. We will bring one spare guitar and bass of course, but you should bring your own. 

What do performers need to wear?

Students do not need to wear school uniform for the Rock Gig. That being said, please ensure your outfit is appropriate for a school concert. 

 

Important information for performers: 

• Students should remain onsite throughout and anyone who leaves the venue will not be readmitted. It would be great to have as much support for our bands as possible so please aim to watch everyone else. 
• Please note as usual for school events - no photography or video is permitted. 
• Please choose something appropriate so nothing with offensive language or images!

There is a bar selling drinks, and you may bring your own water. Please eat beforehand and do not bring food into the venue. Note that students are not permitted to drink alcohol at school events.
