WESTON'S
ART HOUSE
CAFE BAR
More than just a bar. It’s where the night begins!
Our intimate Café-Bar is the social soul of the Blakehay. Whether you’re joining us for a show, dropping by for a cocktail night, or settling in for a slow Sunday with live jazz, you’ll find a warm welcome, great drinks, and something a little bit unexpected.
OPENING HOURS
Our Cafe-Bar is open 1 hour before a performance and throughout the shows. It also open for 30 minutes after the shows for post theatre chit chat, night caps and deserts. Opening times for our in-house After Dark Series Vary.
The Cheese & Wine Bar
Daytime Cafe and Evening Cheese & Wine Bar
The Stable Cheese & Wine Bar is a place for a proper lunch, a glass of something lovely and those catch-ups that last a little longer than planned.
Monday to Friday, 9.30am–3pm, we’re open for daytime lunches, with a salad bar, generously filled sandwiches and jacket potatoes with your favourite fillings. Build yourself a colourful salad, settle in for lunch or take something good back to your desk. Everything is just as happy packed up to take away as it is enjoyed here.
Our cheese and wine evenings are all about taking your time. Choose an individual board or one to share, with cheese, cheese and charcuterie, or vegan options. Our Pick & Mix Boards let you make it your own, with a changing selection of fresh and dried fruits, olives, pickles, nuts, crackers and accompaniments, including honey, chutney and quince.
We’ve chosen our wines with help from The Wine Shop, alongside beers and alcohol-free options, so there’s plenty to enjoy whether wine is your thing or not.
Pop in for lunch, meet a friend over a board or make an evening of it. Good food, good company and no need for a special occasion.
Cafe Monday to Friday 9.30am to 3pm
Cheese & Wine Bar Friday and Saturday 5pm to 9pm (and other dates to accompany Blakehay shows) Also available for private bookings

Blakehay After Dark
Cuban Cocktail Nights
We dim the lights, bring out the rum, and transform the bar into a Havana hideaway. Expect Cuban cocktail specials, live music, good company, and a big dash of tropical theatre.
Resident Magic Nights
Our resident magician hosts intimate nights of mind-bending tricks, sleight-of-hand, and close-up illusions. No rabbits. No top hats. Just jaw-dropping magic up close.
In-House Jazz Band
Our house jazz band brings the foyer to life with vintage swing, smooth soul, and classic cool. Think late-night speakeasy vibes and velvet tones from some of the region’s finest players.
Afternoon Tea with Live Music
Traditional Afternoon Tea, served with a musical twist. Delicate sandwiches, indulgent cakes, perhaps a glass of fizz, all with a live soundtrack from brilliant local talent.
These events happen regularly but we expect them to fill up fast. Sign up to our newsletter to be the first to hear when new dates are released.
FAMILY-FRIENDLY & THEATRE-READY
We’ve got family drink packages, soft drinks for the designated driver, and pre-bookable food and drinks bundles that will help make your theatre trip seamless and special.
