History:
In 1946, an old market building, designed by local architect Hans Price, was converted into a 500 seat theatre. For the next 18 years this theatre, The Playhouse, provided the town with a great variety of entertainment and played host to stars including Frankie Howerd, Bob Monkhouse and Ken Dodd.
The theatre was destroyed by fire on 21 August 1964 and the remains had to be demolished.
In 1969, a new theatre costing £230,000 opened and has been in continuous use ever since.

UK Guns N Roses are indisputably the Top Guns N Roses Tribute in Europe. Formed in 2002 they are the longest running and most established Guns N Roses tribute band, having toured extensively throughout The UK, Europe, The Middle East and the United States. With fans on multiple continents, they continue to astonish and entertain crowds with their outstanding, energetic & accurate live shows.
All the classics are lovingly and accurately replicated live from 'Sweet Child O' Mi...ne', 'Welcome to the Jungle' and 'Paradise City' from the all time classic rock album 'Appetite For Destruction' right through to the phenomenal hits like 'November Rain', 'You Could Be Mine' and 'Live & Let Die' from the later 'Use Your Illusion' albums.
The band is very proud to be widely recognized by fans, music critics and venue owners, to be the very best at what they do. For the masses of Guns N' Roses fans, UK Guns N’ Roses are also regarded as a very real alternative to the now reformed Guns N Roses. Many believe the band to be as close as you will ever get to seeing the original GN'R live and some even rate this tribute to be better than the real thing.
Please note, all show finishing times are approximate.
