Free planning resource
85 venues across 21 towns, with capacity, indoor or outdoor, and what each room actually does to sound. 23 of them have a stated cutoff time or access window. Written by the engineer who works them.
Read this before you plan a timeline on it. Venue policies change, and a curfew that was right last season may not be right for your date. Everything here traces to the venue's own material or a published listing, but you should confirm the number with the venue before you build a schedule around it. A wrong curfew costs you the last dance, and that is worse than not knowing.
If you spot something out of date, tell me and I will fix it. This page gets re-checked monthly.
