Driscolls at Poynton Workmen's Club
Christmas Eve turn in the Vernon Suite.
Driscolls take Christmas Eve in the Vernon Suite at Poynton Workmen’s Club. Doors are from 8pm, and the night winds up around 11, which suits a room full of people who still have stockings to sort when they get home. It is a club turn on the one evening of the year when most of Greater Manchester is already halfway to tomorrow.
Park Lane, Poynton. Ticket details are released nearer the night, so check the club before you promise anyone a table. The crowd tends to be local: neighbours, regulars, and anyone who would rather see the year tick down with a band and a bar they know than fight for a taxi in town. If you are staying in the village for Christmas, this is the outing. Arrive as the doors open if you want to be in the room before the first song, and sort the ticket as soon as the club posts it.
