Zed Alley

Much-loved tunnel-esque club hidden below street level in the centre of town.


You might not be able to spot it from the street but Zed Alley's home to not one, not two but three regular goth/post-punk/new wave/industrial facing clubnights, as well as serving the LGBT+ community with drag/cabaret, comedy and open mic.
