Warrington Parr Hall, Palmyra Square South, Warrington WA1 1BL
Warrington Parr Hall holds a special place in James history, with the Seven video being filmed there over 2 shows on the same day, back in December 1991 and the band have played there several times since. This gig is in aid of War Child, recognising the work the charity has done in recent months in Ukraine.
It is a small, intimate venue, close to the city centre and a short walk from Warrington Bank Quay station, with lots of places to eat and drink nearby – with the renovation of the town’s marketplace, they have some great choices.
Parking – There are several car parks close to the venue – if you are there early, the Parr Hall Pay and Display is on Museum Street, right behind the hall itself, although it is small. There is also a larger contract car park on Museum Street that is open to the public after 5pm.
