_{NOTE: At the Rose and Crown bar, Sunbridge Wells Complex, Upper Millergate

_{Singers' and Musicians' Night}

_{Your chance to sing a song or play a tune or just listen.}

_{Entry £1}

_{Doors open 7:00}

_{PLEASE NOTE: VENUE}

_{For the immediate future, the Topic will be based in the Sunbridge Wells complex (developed in 2016; see here for background info) near the Mirror Pool in the centre of Bradford.}

_{Sunbridge Wells
Upper Millergate
Bradford BD1 1SX}

_{We shall be using two separate spaces: one able to accommodate Guest nights, the other more suitable for Singers and Musicians evenings.}

_{Guest nights will be held in the Waller Bar, on the lower floor. Starting from the Mirror Pool, go through the narrow passage between Wetherspoons and Starbucks: and maybe 50 yards on you’ll see the Sunbrige Wells entrance. Inside, a sloping passage will lead you to the Waller Bar itself. Our performance room will be just to the left.}

_{Singers and Musicians evenings will be held in the separate Rose and Crown bar; and a series of metal stairs just before you get to the Waller Bar will lead you up to it. The performance room will be one floor above that. Those who want to minimise stairs may find it easier to access this this from Sunbridge Road itself. Walk almost to the top, and then then turn right into Upper Milligate. The Rose and Crown is on the right just a few yards further on.}

_{There are toilet facilities on both levels.}

_Parking

_{There are some parking spaces on Sunbridge Road, cost: £1 from 6pm to midnight.} 

_{Parking is free after 6 pm on Thornton Road though currently parking is temporarily suspended on the south side, north side is ok (hope you've got your compass). There are small side roads off Thornton Road with no parking restrictions. Thornton Road is only a few minutes walk from the venue.}

_{Jacob's Well car park charges £1.50 per hour. There's also the car park behind the Media museum (Sharpe Street), but that's also £1.50 an hour, it's a bit further to walk than Jacobs Well.}

_{Bradford Interchange is about 6 minutes walk (0.3 miles from the venue; Forster Square about 10 minutes (0.4 miles). According to Google.}
