GOSFORTH AMATEUR DRAMATIC SOCIETY

Where we are


Page last updated February 16th, 2003

Gosforth Amateur Dramatic Society is based in the village of Gosforth, in the county of Cumbria, England - that’s about as far north as you can go up the west coast without crossing the Scottish border. Up here they think Coronation Street is about a bunch of southerners!

Here’s a map of Great Britain (but not Ireland although, as far as we know, it’s still in its usual place!). Cumbria is the bit that sticks out into the Irish Sea just north of Morecambe Bay. It contains the Lake District and lots of tourists.

... but if you want to see our productions, you’ll need to read on ...

Here’s a map which gives the location of Gosforth much more accurately. As you see, it’s just off the A595 between Ravenglass and Whitehaven. Just down the road is Wastwater, England’s deepest lake, overlooked by Scafell Pike, England’s highest mountain. Here there are rather less tourists.

Our productions are staged in the Public Hall.

As you pass through the village towards Wasdale, you will find the Public Hall on your right, immediately after the HSBC Bank.

This is what it looks like:

Oops! If you get this far, you’ve reached Wasdale! Turn round and retrace your steps for five miles or so. On second thoughts, stay and enjoy the view - if it’s still broad daylight, then it’s probably quite some time before curtain up!
