You must visit Oran Mor – a unique arts and entertainment spot, a stones throw from us, which offers a Victorian Bar and Whisky Bar, two restaurants, a night club and live music all under a magnificently ornate auditorium with mural ceiling. But there’s more – you can still get your theatrical fix in the form of the internationally famous “A Play A Pie And A Pint”! showing Monday – Saturday 1pm.
