The RWA relies solely upon donations and the money made from our fundraising events to be able to exist.

Please support any of our concerts you can, and do please tell your friends about them as well.

During the course of the year, we host a wide variety of shows which should appeal to most tastes, featuring professional musicians plus

sometimes our own students. Shows are held at The Rye Theatre, Rye College, Love Lane, Rye, East Sussex, TN31 7NQ.

To reserve your seats for any of our events, call Richard on 01424 444 058.

Directions to our regular venue...The Rye Theatre, Rye College, Love Lane, Rye, East Sussex, TN31 7NQ If using SatNav, it will almost certainly bring you down a tiny little one way road called Deadman’s Lane. Do not go down this in anything larger than a car as it is too narrow. The easier route is to go into the town past the railway station and following through the town one way system, turning left at a mini-roundabout to go down Rope Walk into The Grove and Love Lane. Beware the very tight bend at the mini roundabout into Rope Walk. Note, if approaching from the north east on the A268 or the East of the A259, you cannot drive directly into town, you have to either follow the A259 around the edge and then enter from a roundabout at the west end, or use Deadman’s Lane, which is fine by car, but be aware of the metal railings on the left hand side.
