A Rum History:-
During the Second World War the Royal Navy used the first of three
caverns at Carnglaze to store its supply of rum. In 2001 it was
converted into an auditorium with seating for 400. The slate walls
and roof form a stunning backdrop for performances, making this
a unique venue. Due to the shape and height of the cavern, the acoustics
are outstanding and are acclaimed by many of the international performers
who have been to The Rum Store. A variety of concerts and events
takes place over the year offering a selection of musical genres.
There is a free car park with low mobility/disabled parking on
site and an overflow car park via a "Park and Ride" scheme
is provided when appropriate. A fully licensed bar is available
at most concerts and events. New for 2005 will be a catering facility
available at most concerts and events. The Rum Store is fully accessible
to wheelchair users and people with low mobility.
The Rum Store is one of three caverns that form the old slate mine
at Carnglaze, which is set amongst 6.5 acres of woodland in the
Loveny Valley. |
