From the sublime to the ridiculous, often offbeat, occasionally on-the-one; The Waiting Room has put on regular original live music and arts events for the past 25 years. Taking place on Sunday nights, Waiting for Sunday is an incredible programme of independent diy song-making, performance art and social happenings; from folk music to anti-folk, punk cabaret to indie pop, avant garde chamber jazz to the art of noise with self-built automaton machinery, and mechanical hats... and everything in between. Featuring local grass roots talent alongside established international touring bands, astonishing writers, musicians and performers; colliding traditional and ground breaking artists; spanning spoken word, comedy, poetry, plays, cinema, community art and food events.

Waiting for Sunday usually takes place with cabaret style seating and table service. Those who want to eat may order from a shorter menu written to the blackboard; and the bar is also open throughout.
