The Weavers first started their own BBC North West series ‘Sit thi Deawn ‘ which continued for 7 years .
David’s long career saw him appear with the group on countless Radio Shows , six pantomimes ,recorded at EMI Abbey road studios and in many the North West theatres for 49 years and now in his 50 th year wishes to celebrate with his friends Paul Johnston who formerly appeared with Lancashire folk group Five Penny Piece , Dave Mather and Anthony Quinn who played at the Great British folk festival with the Mather Robinson Band .

Most of our shows use ‘cabaret-style’ seating. This means that your seats will be unreserved, which allows you to decide where to sit when you arrive.
The stalls (downstairs) are set up informally, with chairs around small tables, for a sociable, relaxed atmosphere, and somewhere to put your drink. Cabaret seating also allows space for dancing, which is highly encouraged at Victoria Hall!
For those who prefer a more ‘traditional’ theatre experience, the balcony seats are laid out in rows and raked, ensuring all seats have an excellent view.
For parties of six or more, tables in the stalls can be reserved- contact us to reserve a table. If you have reserved a table, we ask that at least one of your party turn up at least 30 minutes before the performance start time, in order to secure your table.
We can always reserve seating or wheelchair spaces in the stalls for those unable to use the stairs- just let us know when you book your tickets.
Please note, online bookings are subject to a booking fee. Tickets can also be bought by phone on 01729 825718, or in person at our box office. Opening hours are 10am-2pm, Monday-Friday.
