There is no bar at the Ale House. This is a ‘bring your own’ event.
Please see the venue description below.

A singer and violinist from Wales, having studied in Spain, Claire Victoria Roberts brings a dazzling talent and a new kind of music to the Ale House. She performs with Treske, a Welsh-Irish classical string quartet, performing original arrangements of traditional songs from Wales and Argentina, where in Patagonia there is a Welsh-speaking community.

In 2024 they played the London Jazz Festival and Manchester Jazz Festival.

The Artists

Claire Victoria Roberts is a composer, vocalist and violinist, blurring the boundaries of jazz, contemporary and folk genres. Drawing upon these diverse influences as a composer and performer, she presents a repertoire blending string textures with traditional songs from Wales and Argentina. Expect songs in Welsh and Spanish with improvised vocals and beautiful string harmonies from the virtuosic Treske Quartet.

Mill Lane Colwall WR13 6HJ

The Ale House is a delightful and intimate concert venue, with warm acoustics.

Despite its name, there are no bar facilities at The Ale House and events there do not normally make alcoholic drinks available for sale. Most events, however, are bring-your-own. Wine glasses are made available.

The absence of a bar also has the highly desirable effect of ensuring the ‘pindrop’ atmosphere is maintained, with audiences intent only on the music.

In the 16th Century The Ale House was a place to serve ale to the parishioners of Colwall after church services. Nowadays, while having all modern facilities, it retains its ancient charm, with oak beams and leaded windows.

It is situated adjacent to St James the Great Church in Colwall. From the main B4218 going through the main part of Colwall, turn down Mill Lane, which is just north of the railway bridge. Go past Colwall Village Hall and the church is about half a mile further down the lane.

Park in the large car park next to the church and walk through the churchyard to the Ale House.

For reasons of safety parking is not allowed immediately adjacent to the building.

Disabled Access

The Ale House is fully equipped for wheelchair access.

There is a pull-in space by the main door at the south end of the building (shown in the picture) for drop-off.
