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.
