Unfortunately, Sue's recurring poor health has forced her into giving up the licence at the Farquaharson Arms. We all wish her the very best for the future and we are very grateful for her past hospitality.

We have reached an agreement with the Royal British Legion in Blandford Forum and it is now our new home.

So from Friday 12th February we will be based at

Royal British Legion
Church Lane
Blandford Forum
Dorset DT11 7AD

PARKING

There is plentiful public parking nearby, free after 6pm, but it might take time to find a space. Please see Town Centre map above for Car Parks. 

Access to Church Lane is only via Salisbury Street, then The Plocks (first right after Iceland).  Church Lane  is no entry from the Market Place.

There is also on-street parking in Sheep Market Hill, by the church, and surrounding streets.

Additional parking is available in the car park off West Street (Marsh and Ham CP) which provides pedestrian access via an alleyway directly to the  Market Place area, approximately 100 metres walk from the Legion.

Please allow time to find parking spaces as the one-way system causes delays if you need to re-circulate.

THE ROYAL BRITISH LEGION

The Royal British Legion is a members club and all Wessex Acoustic club attendees, unless members of the Blandford Branch of the RBL, need to sign in on entry to the club. There will be a list by the door for you to sign in.

There is no food available at the RBL club on folk club nights. There are many restaurants and pubs in the town centre if you wish to dine prior to the folk club.

The Legion bar serves a variety of well kept beers at competitive prices. 

(prices shown may differ by a few pence but listed as a guide only)

 E.G. Gale's HSB £2.55 a pint, Guinness £3.10  J2O fruit drinks £1.40 Schwepps fruit juice 60p

There are other beers such as Fuller's London Pride and Ringwood Best, not to mention several lagers and 2 draught ciders!.

Please just remember you come for the music and don't spend all evening in the bar please!
