McSwiggans

Big restaurant on the two floors above the bar but rightly popular and gets crowded. Gastropub with traditional fare.

Town Hall Theatre
The THT features plays, music, dance, comedy and of course panto. They run three venues: the main auditorium has only 400 seats, so it's cosy and suits many performances but is a bit small for grand occasions. Studio Space also in the square has 52 seats. Black Box, 500 m north on Dyke Road, has 600 seats and is more suitable for a rock concert.
