Staring at the rude boys
Might be booking to see a band at the ropetackle and not sure whether to get the train or drive. What time do gigs usually finish ?

Went there after the Palace game, finished about 2130/2200 I think ....fits in with the general demographic.

Not too late - 10pm usually ... give or take.
I'm there tonight actually seeing "Keith James – The Songs of Nick Drake"

On the website they usually put the running time, bands usually play for 2 hours...There isn't much parking around there, except down the side streets or in Ropetackle itself (parking illegally in visitor spots), not too bad a walk from the station if it isn't piddling down...several pubs along the way.....

Piston Broke is definitely worth a visit with a good selection of cask ales direct from the stillage
About 3pm I think
Also, plenty of parking round there. You’ve got the Shoreham Centre car park, library car park (bit naughty) and some street parking.
But seeing as you can walk from one end of Shoreham town centre to the other in about 3.5 mins, you’ll be fine.
or drive it in about an hour.
Parking adjacent to Adur Recreation Ground on the other side of the Norfolk Bridge. Only accessable from the eastbound side of the A259. Roundabouts fairly close to change direction. 700 bus route stops are close which also serve the number 2 route.
Yep, 700 bus is what I’d go for. Both stops ar almost on the doorstep.

It's normally down to the act (within limits).
When we first played the Ropetackle we used to finish at 11, couple of encores and off at 11.15. Last time we played it IIRC we finished at 10.15, couple of encores and off at 10.30 (we played it for a good few years though). The average age of the act you're going to see will give you a clue

Great venue run by volunteers so please support the bars in there.
They do some good talks in there. We saw a talk on Sussex Folklore a while ago. It was superb.

You could always leave early if you need to rush off and get the train. It’s ok to do that isn’t it ?
