Playing as parts of the Words & Music festival. Sold out, apparently, so all the more need for pre-gig pubs, offers of lifts, spare beds, cheap digs and most importantly spare tickets (saw a couple on offer on that there Facebook).
I've done some research! Pub wise, anyway. On the way from the railway station to the venue (Market Street CW5 DG), there's a couple of guided pubs not too far off piste. There's The Vine (42 Hospital Street, CW5 5RP) and The Crown (High Street, CW5 5AS). The latter appeals as it has 'the strangest uneven bespoke flooring to be found in Cheshire'! It also does Salopian ales, so that'll appeal to any lurkers out there (coo-ee!)
Any thoughts, dear readers? Keep 'em clean.
