Totnes:

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

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 (Rough guide to Tango and Dancing)
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
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 by the 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.

Elsewhere:

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.

South Zeal Village Hall (Henry's Party )
From Totnes, go up the A38 towards Exeter. Take the Bovey Tracey turn-off. Go to Bovey Tracey. Straight across two roundabouts will take you along the outskirts of Bovey Tracey and onto the A382 towards Moretonhampstead. Stay on that road for a good 20 minutes (beautiful!!!), through Moretonhampstead (sharp left turn but stay on the road) an on to Whiddon down. When you come to a little roundabout, follow the signs to South Zeal and Sticklepath. After a few miles, South Zeal is signed on the right hand side of the road. The Village hall is in the very centre of the village. It would be good to park on the car park a few hundred metres away from the Village hall. From the village Hall, go down hill past the little shop, then turn right and look out for signs to the car park.
The pavilion is right by the car park, on the other side of the stream.
From Exeter, go westwards on the A30 for about 20 minutes. On the first roundabout, go off and follow the signs to South Zeal.

Tickets are cheaper if you buy in advance and ask for return tickets if you plan to return by train too. they are even cheaper if you travel already on the Thursday :-)

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.

The Exeter Phoenix Art Center
This is Exeter's Art Centre in the middle of the city, on called Gandhi Street, just off Queen Street. There is no parking right by the Art Center, so take a little time to find a parking space.

Exeter Mint Methodist Church Hall:
The Mint Methodist Church Hall is very central, near Mary Arches car park on the main street. The Church hall is accessed through an entrance in the alleyway on the left hand side of the Church. So if you stand in front of the Church entrance, follow the building around to the left, find a door (blue if it's closed, orange if it's open). Press the bell named 'Rowe Hall' and say the pass word :-)

Middle Rocombe Farm
Directions to Middle Rocombe Farm - from Penn Inn Roundabout, Newton Abbot:
Take exit to Milber (coming from Exeter, this is the first left; from Plymouth/Ashburton/Bovey Tracey etc it is the second left off the roundabout)
As you turn off the roundabout, keep in the right lane and turn right towards Milber (green filter) at the traffic lights, onto St Marychurch Rd.
Stay on this road for over 2 miles. It will take you into the countryside. Turn left to Rocombe (sign is on left hand side), go down steep narrow hill (sound horn on bends) take the first left turn (this is at a crossroads). Continue until Middle Rocombe Farm is on the right.

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...

Stoke Gabriel Village Hall (workshops)
To get to Stoke Gabriel, leave Totnes on the road to Paignton. A little way out of Totnes the road makes a 90 degree left turn, and that's where you turn right! Follow the signs to Stoke Gabriel from there, it's not far.
This venue is about 10 minutes drive from Totnes, and quite close to our Collaton St. Mary's venue too..

Ashburton Town Hall ( GOTANGO workshop weekend)
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.

Harbertonford Village Hall
Harbertonford lies about 3 miles south of Totnes, on the way to Kingsbridge. Once you are in the village, look out for a little sign off to the right. The hall is tucked in behind some houses, only 100 or so metres from the main road. Parking near the hall is available.
