South Shields Folk Club was formed more than forty years ago and for many years was known as the Marsden Inn Folk Club. We reverted to the original name after leaving the Marsden Inn and for a few years we met at the Old Ship in Harton.
We will be meeting every Sunday evening at 7.30 pm in the Westoe Rugby Club function room. If you look first at the Multimap 1:5,000 you'll see that Dean Road begins at a roundabout. South Shields and Westoe Club is about twenty yards away from the roundabout, on the left. The postcode is NE33 4EA.
Here's a few more maps for people travelling, as they do, from miles around....
1:10,000
1:25,000
1:50,000
1:100,000
1:200,000
1:500,000
1:1,000,000
Alternatively, if you find that you don't like the new Multimap, which misses the target slightly, go to Google Maps and enter the postcode in the search box.
If you need to get back to Newcastle or beyond on the Metro here's where to find the Metro timetable for South Shields.

It's the timetable for the South Shields terminus but it's only a couple of minutes from there to Chichester station which is a 10 minute walk from SS&W Club.
Metro trains are every 15 minutes on Sunday nights and these are the times of the last ones from South Shields:-
to St James 10.13 pm
to Manors 10.58 pm
to North Shields 11.13 pm
to Regent Centre 11.28 pm
to South Gosforth 11.56 pm
