FAQs

CAN I JUST COME FOR A DRINK AT THE HUNTER CLUB?
YES! The bar is open every Thursday, Friday and Saturday night to the general public. You don’t need to be a member of a club or attending an event, just rock up and have a drink with us. For more information on the bar check out The Bar. 

DO YOU TAKE CASH?
The Hunter Club bar does NOT take cash or has any capacity to take cash. Please bare this in mind when visiting us. Events may vary whether they take cash or card at the ticket desk. This depends on the promoter and if you are unsure it is always best to check in advance.

WHAT EVENTS DO YOU HAVE GOING ON AT THE HUNTER CLUB??
As a live entertainment venue we try to be inclusive and varied with what events we have on here. We work with promoters to create a choice for you and to be genuinely representative of what Bury St Edmunds has to offer. We are proud to be a big supporter of grassroots music and the local music scene that is bursting with artists performing Indie, rock, acoustic singer/songwriters, Afro Beat, folk, hip-hop, opera, metal, and everything in between. We are also home to a monthly open mic, a monthly Acoustic Guitar Club, Live Jazz Lounge Events, Drag Cabaret shows, Stand-up Comedy, Theatre, Burlesque and more. If there’s something you’d like to see at the club and would like to be involved in organising or promoting your own event and bringing something truly great to Bury St Edmunds, please do get in touch.
