Doors at 5, bar open all night, home by half ten — and everyone you know will be there. The hall only holds so many, so tickets are very limited and expected to sell out.
One to kick off the run-up to Christmas.
Very limited tickets — expected to sell out
Before you come
Yes. There's no age limit — children of any age are welcome as long as they come with an adult. It's a village hall night, not a nightclub.
Full bar all night, draught beer included. We run Challenge 25, so if you're lucky enough to look under 25, bring some ID.
We'll have snacks for sale. You're also very welcome to bring your own food, or a takeaway — just please clear up after yourself.
Doors at 5, music from 6, and we're done by 10. Come when you like — the bar is open from the moment the doors go.
Book online and your ticket arrives by email. Show it on the door, or just give your name — we'll have you on the list either way. Lost it? Look it up here.
The Community Centre has its own car park on the High Street. It's a village centre, so if it's full there's plenty of on-street parking nearby.

Join in
This whole thing runs on neighbours who fancy mucking in. There are three ways to join in, and every one of them is more fun than it sounds.
We're booking bands, solo artists and DJs throughout 2026 and into 2027. Original material or covers, full band or just you and a guitar — we'd love to hear from you.
We need volunteers on the night and in the run-up. No experience needed — if you can carry a speaker stand or put up a poster, you're qualified.
Local businesses can back an event and get their name in front of a hall full of neighbours — while putting money straight into the Community Centre.
Not sure which one you are? Just say hello — nick@tarporley.live and we'll work it out.
How it started
Tarporley Community Centre is busy all week — clubs, classes, groups, children's parties. Come Saturday night, though, the lights were usually off. It seemed a shame for a hall that size to sit empty at exactly the time people want somewhere to go.
So a few of us set about changing that. Live Music Saturdays is the result: proper regional acts, a real bar, and everything left over going straight back into the building.
I recently joined the Tarporley Community Centre Committee. Though the centre was used widely throughout the week there wasn't much happening on weekend nights — often it was empty. Ken was keen to get some live music going. So, we got our heads together and got moving on it.
I've got quite a lot of the equipment from my events company. There's a dedicated group of volunteers. We're hopeful of generating a few quid for the improvement of the centre through these events, and have a good time doing it too!

Sponsorship pays for the acts, which means more of what you spend on the door and at the bar goes straight into the building. These are the businesses making that possible.

Simone at Sanare Spa is our first sponsor — a local business backing a local night. Every pound of sponsorship goes to the Community Centre alongside the ticket money.
Sponsoring a night puts your name on the banners in the hall, on the posters, here on the website and on every ticket email that goes out. It's a straightforward way to put something back into the village — and to be seen doing it by a hall full of neighbours.
The place itself
Tarporley Community Centre sits on the High Street, and describes itself rather nicely as being “in the heart of the community, for the community”. It's a large hall with a stage, a kitchen and its own car park — which is exactly why it works so well for a gig.
It's busy most of the week. There are classes and clubs covering everything from dance and football to zumba, fitness, singing groups and amateur dramatics. There are film nights run with the local Rotary Club, the village market on the first Saturday of the month, performances by Tarporley Amateur Dramatics, and the annual Beer Festival.
It's a Charitable Incorporated Organisation, registered number 1194629, run by a volunteer committee. There's no owner taking a cut — every penny these music nights raise goes back into the building, which is the whole point of them.
You can hire it yourself for parties, celebrations, meetings and events, with the room set up however you need it.
