Fancy a look inside The Carlton? This Saturday and Sunday the doors are open, there's a bar, and local bands are playing The Deck for the first time.
If you've walked past The Carlton in Maryport and wondered what it's like inside now, this weekend's your chance.
The Carlton is having its first open weekend on Saturday 14 and Sunday 15 November. It's the first time The Deck has been open to the public, and the first proper go on their new sound and lighting kit.
Saturday's line-up: SOULZ, the rock band from Netherhall School, are on at 6pm, then Heartbreak Remedy at 7pm. On Sunday the doors open at 5pm and Mayfair Suite are on at 6pm.
Catherine Eve, director of Maryport Horizons, the community company running the place, said: "This is the first time The Deck has been opened to the public and we cannot wait to see what people think."
She also said: "Volunteers from Maryport Horizons will be around to hear what people want to see on stage next, and to give anyone who wants it information about the office space which is available too."
The Carlton's been done up as part of Cumberland Council's £12 million revamp of Maryport, with money from the council, the government and Sellafield Ltd. They're opening it a bit at a time. As well as The Deck and The Yard Arm, there's office space going on the first floor, and someone's already moved into the studio on the top floor.
So, get yourself down there on Saturday or Sunday night, have a nosy, catch a band and tell the volunteers what you'd like to see on next. If you're after an office, ring 07949 568895 or email hello@mhcic.co.uk. We covered The Carlton's first opening earlier this autumn too.
Maryport's newly restored Carlton building holds its first open weekend on Saturday 14 and Sunday 15 November, with local bands playing The Deck for the first time.
This is for anyone in Maryport and nearby who wants to see inside the restored Carlton, and for people who like live local music.
The Carlton will open its doors to the public on Saturday 14 and Sunday 15 November for its first open weekend. It is the first time The Deck, one of the building's new spaces, has been open to the public, and it will be the first big test of newly installed sound and lighting equipment.
On Saturday, SOULZ, the rock band from Netherhall School, take the stage at 6pm, followed by Heartbreak Remedy at 7pm. On Sunday, doors open at 5pm and Mayfair Suite play at 6pm.
Catherine Eve, director of Maryport Horizons, the community interest company that runs the venue, said: "This is the first time The Deck has been opened to the public and we cannot wait to see what people think."
She added: "Volunteers from Maryport Horizons will be around to hear what people want to see on stage next, and to give anyone who wants it information about the office space which is available too."
The Carlton was restored as part of Cumberland Council's £12 million regeneration of Maryport, paid for by the council, central government and Sellafield Ltd. It is opening in phases. Alongside The Deck and The Yard Arm, office space is now available on the first floor, and the top-floor studio has its first tenant.
What you can do: go along on Saturday or Sunday evening, have a look round and tell the volunteers what you would like to see on stage. Anyone interested in renting office space can call 07949 568895 or email hello@mhcic.co.uk. Marra News covered the building's first opening earlier this autumn.
