Anyone coming to stay with us on Thursday 1st October, we have a great idea for an evening's entertainment with an evening of hilarious comedy at Berwick's coolest new venue The Straw Yard.

It's going to be an amazing night and you can book your tickets in advance to guarantee your place. Tickets are limited, but there's still a chance to grab them before they all go. See you in the chuckle hut!

Hello lovely people!

We are back at The Straw Yard On October 1st as part of the next Berwick Comedy Club show!

As they it says -
"... another evening of comedians ready to crack you up, split your sides and wet your pants with laughter (wet pants not compulsory)."

We will be joined by Jack Fox - a stand-up comedian, rapper and musician from South Shields. Jack joined us in The Straw Yard back in 2024 at the Berwick Slow Food

Plus some extra guest still to be announced.

As part of Berwick Literary Festival 2026, we will be hosting a fringe event to raise money for our YHA Breaks Charity, which offers respite breaks for young carers.

The Tideline Runners Theatre Company will be showcasing some scenes from upcoming projects in active development.

Tickets are limited availability on first-come-first-served basis, at a cost of £5 (or more if you feel like donating more) which goes directly to the charity.

The show opens at 7pm and will last approximately 1 hour. Due to some mature themes, we suggest the show would be suitable for people aged 14+.

⚔️⚔️⚔️
Rehearsals are well underway!!!!
Are you ready to join us at The Straw Yard for a summer romp of daring-do and gay abandon as our heroes, the Three Musketeers take on the dastardly Comte de Rochefort, the tasty Lord De Brie, and the rather boring, Mr Cheddar, all under the direction of the villainous Cardinal Richelieu who for some reason wants to rule France, of all places! Joining our heroes on their adventure is their work experience placement, d’Artagnan as they try to get through the script, the costume changes, and the overly complicated direction.

Fun for all the family, you can expect silly accents, terrible puns, and more false moustaches than you’d find at a Freddy Mercury look-a-like contest.

Book now!
