The Queens Park Arts CentreWelcome

The Limelight Theatre is part of the Queens Park Arts Centre,  a lively, community arts centre. It is a registered charity and offers a range of over fifty arts and craft workshops for all ages and abilities in a friendly and informal setting, taught by experienced and dedicated tutors.

Queens Park Arts Centre houses the Limelight Theatre, Aylesbury's exciting fringe venue. This offers a full programme of professional theatre, music and dance often hot from the Edinburgh Festival and London Fringe. It is an intimate theatre with a great reputation and friendly bar.

 

The bar at the Queens Park Arts Centre opens at 7pm on Rocking the Blues nights and the Limelight Theatre will be open at 8pm with live music from around 8.15/8.30pm depending on the line up and a finish time by 11pm. Support The Queens Park Centre and Limelight Theatre as it is a charity and has very little local funding. Don't forget the centre usually get's in some real ale for blues nights.

To avoid disappointment, we recommend you get your tickets in advance by calling the theatre box office on 01296 424332  ( 01296 431272 24hrs). Tickets will be available on the door subject to availability.  For more information call  Tel 01296 634991 or visit www.qpc.org

You can purchase tickets in advance for any of the future gigs on a Rocking the Blues night or any on any other night or day when the Queens Park Arts Centre is open. To see a what is coming up in the future, scroll down the page.

 

Blues CD Store is specifically for blues CDs, DVDs etc. The site has a wide range of CDs by blues bands and artists in the UK and across the world and will aim to provide a much needed platform for UK blues musicians. If you've been to a gig recently and didn't buy a CD on the night you can probably get it from this site www.bluescdstore.com  or email: info@bluescdstore.com
