Play at the Hare
I'm a musician. Can I play an acoustic Friday?
We'd love to hear from you. Email a link to your music and a few lines about yourself to hello@lanternandhare.co.uk. We book about two months ahead and pay a fair fee plus food and a drink or two.
Are children allowed at events?
Children are welcome until 9pm with an adult, so the early part of Friday nights and all of the Sunday folk session are fine. The quiz is adults only.
How do I get tickets for the meet the brewer night?
Ring us on 01632 960 718 or ask at the bar. We hold 30 places and they usually go within a week.
