Totnes:

The Mansion
The Mansion is situated in the Centre of Totnes. Just walk up the shopping street and you will find it opposite Lloyds Bank.

The Totnes Pavilion
The Pavilion is the local swimming pool and leisure complex at the bottom of the town, near the railway station. Find the roundabout with the petrol station by its side. Take the turnoff to the industrial estate and instantly turn left again. This little road will take you to the pavilion. There is plenty of parking.

The Ariel Centre
The Ariel Centre is the Theatre space connected to KEVIC's, the comprehensive school in Totnes. You will find it on your left as you leave Totnes towards Dartington, just past the orange foot bridge.

The Barrel House
This is one of Totnes's pubs/restaurants, at the top of town, just above the market place on the right hand side. We will dance upstairs. The Barrel house serves good food, so bring enough money with you!

The Masonic Hall (Monday evening classes)
Find the Market place in the upper part of the town. Facing the back of the Market place, you will see the Masonic Hall. It is an odd looking tall and lonely red brick building on the right hand side of the path that leads to the big car parks.

St Mary's Church Hall
Take a little time to find this one if you haven't been there before! St. Mary's Church is the big red brick Church 100m below the market square on the high street. Just above the church, past the jewellers, is a little alleyway which leads you by the side of the Church. Walking along this alleyway, you will find at some point on your left an even smaller alleyway, which starts off with an iron gate underneath an archway. This will lead you to the Church hall.

The Totnes School of English
This one's easy to find: it's in the Arch with the clock tower, in the middle of the Town!

Birdwood House
Find the market place in Totnes. When you stand facing the market place, with the street in your back, Birdwood house is the first house on your right. the classes are taking place upstairs.

The Rudolf Steiner School Hall Tango Mango
Coming from Exeter on the A38, take the Exit to Buckfastleigh, then follow signs in the direction of Totnes. As you approach Dartington, you will find the Rudolf Steiner School on your right hand side, just after you crossed the river on a small bridge with traffic lights. Coming from Totnes, follow the signs to Buckfastleigh. As you drive out of Dartington, you will find the School on your left as you come down a long hill.

Foxhole Theatre, Dartington
Going from Totnes to Dartington, take a right at Shinner's Bridge roundabout, then turn right up the hill to Dartington Hall. Half way up the hill turn right again and follow the signs to Foxhole. You may have to park your car behind the building, but the entrance to the Theatre is actually the first corner of the building as you approach it by car. Take a few minutes extra to locate it, as it might be dark in the evening and it is a big complex with many entrances.

Collaton St. Mary's Primary School and also the Parish Hall
Collaton St. Mary is just before Paignton on the road from Totnes to Paignton. As you enter Collaton St. Mary, take the first left (where the main road takes a sharp right turn) and the school is immediately on the left hand side, the Parish Hall is opposite the school. Please park reasonably as we want to keep the locals sweet!!!
This venue is about 10 minutes drive from Totnes. Any latecomers may have to enter through the kitchen which is on the right hand side of the building. We will put up signs...

Ashburton Town Hall
Ashburton is along the A38 between Exeter and Plymouth. The Town hall is in North Street. Drive into Ashburton. In the centre of the town at the bottom of the hill is North Street, which leads towards the moor. About 100 metres into that road, you will see the town hall. There is a big car park behind the Hall.

Ashprington is just South of Totnes. go up the Kingsbridge hill, going southwards out of Totnes. Three quarters of the way up the hill, you turn left towards Ashprington. Follow the signs to the village. Once you are in the village by the celtic cross, the hall is about 100 metres down the hill on the left hand side. Please park respectfully of the village.
