Ok, that's a bit over-the-top and obviously biased, but we love to see the hall buzzing with a fabulous variety of music. Here's highlighting the events the Proms have booked into the hall.
Tickets for some of these will hopefully still be available at the Richard Harvey Collection in town (a couple are on-the-night, so just come-on-down), or follow links to Eventbrite online booking from shipstonproms.org. Or, take a chance on the night!
Fri 21st June: The Dropouts supported by Thom Kirkpatrick. Thom is a very talented and fascinating one man band with all the looping tricks! The Dropouts shot the lights out on the final night last year and we're just hoping the hall's roof doesn't blow off!

Fri 28th June: Songs from The Shows. Title speaks for itself and it's a yearly classic! £10 on the door for this one - come along, singalong, you won't be disappointed!
Sat 29th June: Cotswold Choir, who've jumped in to replace a late cancellation in the programme. But don't let that worry you - these guys are also a firm favourite with Proms fans, singing a wonderful variety of songs!
Tues 2nd July: Mrs. Porter's Chamberpot Pourri. Another yearly classic! £10 on the door. Don't let the title put you off! It means a fabulous array of talent!
Fri 5th July: Opera Night. Opera not your thing? Perhaps think again - just a joy to behold!

Great evening at Townsend Hall last night listening to Tom “Spats” Langham’s Hot fingers. The muscians were amazing AND had some funny stories to tell in between songs.
I have attached some photos of the evening plus some flyers of up coming events. Took them on my phone so apologies for the quality but gives you an idea of the great turnout, plus a bar and raffle.
If you haven’t been to one of these events before then give it a go, you might be surprised. Townsend Hall is a charity so support at these events is very important to the future of this hidden gem venue.
Equally, if you would like to hold a wedding reception, gig, play etc. at the hall give them a call. Contact details can be found on their website https://www.townsendhall.co.uk
'Spats' Langham's Hot Fingers has pretty much sold out for Fri (31st Mar) - there's a couple of single seats left online (www.ticketsource.co.uk/townsend-hall) and one at Clarke's in town today, but there's a chance of a few tickets being available on the door if you pop in on the off-chance. After this, we have King Pleasure and the Biscuit Boys on Fri 21st April. Tickets are going fast, but still available from www.ticketsource.co.uk/townsend-hall if you'd like to bag your own table and seats, and from Clarke's in town from today for seating on the night.

The fabulous Fret n Fiddle Sally Minchin's String Quintet...what a night! Check out our web site townsendhall.co.uk for more coming up, not least events in the Proms fortnight of course!
Still not sure how this page differs from the hall's "friend's page" - remain confused about how to best work FB for the hall :-) But, this one only seems to allow a single video / photo on a post - this is my favourite from the Richard Leache's Street Jazz Band we had on last month....
A jazztastic sell-out for Tom "Spats" Langham's Hot Fingers!! And we've got loads more coming....
"Just Take That"! Another fun evening at the hall - thank you to Cotswold Events for the booking...
Jools and the Jazzaholics got us off to a fabulous weekend of live music. So good we're already thinking about when we can get them back as part of a jazz programme of events through 2022. Our jazz regulars are clued up already about how good these events are, but for those out there that haven't come along yet, perhaps thinking jazz isn't for them, give one of our events a go - we're confident you'll enjoy the evening! townsendhall.co.uk.
