Those seeking a floor spots on guest nights should contact us before coming.
Time is very limited on these nights and if time permits we will have floor singers but have to be selective.
We recommend you phone or email us first to avoid disappointment, especially if coming from a long way.

This is a guide to the rules of admission :
On entering the building all guests must wear a face mask.
If you see an NHS QR Track 'N' Trace poster please scan it if you have the facility on your phone.
Please follow the arrows on the floor and go to the counter to sign in.
There is Hand Sanitiser Gel in the bar and the OFC club room.
Go through the double doors at the end and meet us.
Someone will take your temperature with a laser thermometer. We will not allow anyone to enter with a temperature above 38deg C.
There are many tables in the room for four people but only those in the same family/bubble can use all four. Due to the requirement for social distancing not all the tables can be used.
You are asked please, not to visit other tables to meet other family groups.
Masks can be taken off when sitting but if you need to use the facilities or move from your seats you must wear your masks again.
Mask exempt persons, providing proof is a personal choice, is not necessary in law but would be appreciated. If possible please carry an exemption card or wear an exemption badge. Any difficulties speak to a member of staff when signing in.
