A community arts space indoors and out in one of Chesham’s historic yards, Francis Yard.
On Friday and Saturday evenings: an eclectic mix of live music events from a range of genres including Jazz, Blues, Folk, Electronic. Food is also served on gig nights.
This venue has hosted well-known international artists – recently Grenada’s Sabrina Francis, and been home to emerging stars such as Chesham’s very own young super talent, Ruby Leigh.
When possible the gigs are outside, with outdoor heating, hot rocks and blankets provided to keep things cosy. The audience is made up of locals and those who travel from much further afield to see the selected artists.
Open for a range of breakfasts, coffees, lunches and tapas including vegan, vegetarian and gluten-free.
There are singles and social nights every Wednesday, comedy nights on alternate Thursdays, plus storytelling on some other Thursday evenings.
Ivan’s Home drop-ins on Thursday mornings welcome anyone who needs a friendly ear to share their story.
