BluesAtTheBay

We are pleased to announce that we will be appearing at the world‑famous Cleveland Bay this July — a venue with more than 200 years of remarkable heritage.

Established in 1825, the Cleveland Bay is recognised as the world’s first purpose‑built railway pub, originally constructed for Thomas Meynell, chairman of the Stockton & Darlington Railway, to serve the Yarm branch line and its coal and lime depot. The pub opened on 17 October 1825, the same day as the line itself, and has since evolved into a cherished local landmark known for its warm, traditional character and intimate atmosphere.

Today, the Cleveland Bay enjoys a new lease of life with its small, intimate music venue space an ideal setting for an unforgettable night of live performance.
