Book to see Gary Brooker / No Stiletto Shoes

17 December: booking via this route is now closed. Many thanks to everyone who booked via BtP: we have sent a lot of money to the Brookers' charities, and we're due for some great entertainment!

How do you fancy a night of top quality rock'n'roll music from the likes of Gary Brooker MBE, Dave Bronze, Henry Spinetti, Frank Mead, and Andy Fairweather Low? Gary's keeping quiet about special guests, so there is that surprise to look forward to as well.

Tickets to Gary's highly-regarded charity R'n'B nights, in his home county of Surrey, have not been generally available to 'Beyond the Pale' visitors in the past; but now, by kind arrangement with Franky Brooker, we are able to offer a number of tickets for Palers' online booking, now for the Friday gig only. (read about last year's gigs).

The Charities being supported are the Royal Surrey Children's Hospital, and the Church Organ & Roof Emergency fund at St Mary's Church where the Gary Brooker Ensemble recorded their superb CD, Within Our House. If you click the PayPal logo – while this page exists – can be there on the Friday night! Your name(s) will be sent by BtP  to the Brookers, and will be added to the doorman's list, enabling you to collect the ticket(s) at the entrance right before the show(s).

Click on the PayPal logos above to pay for your tickets. The charge is 21 pounds per head. You must type in the names of all the people for whom you are buying the tickets, or, of course, you won't be able to pick them up on the door.

•  This advance booking costs 21 pounds per head, which covers the PayPal commission charge etc.

• On the door (unless the gig sells out) non-prebooked tickets cost 20 pounds.

• Please note there will be no refund if, for any reason, you don't show up on the night!

• If you really can't use PayPal, send a mail and we'll see if something can be arranged for you.

Chiddingfold is deep in the country, near Godalming, near Guildford. These practical details look useful ... but do note that they were garnered from another website and BtP hasn't checked them

By road ...

• From London, Guildford and the A3 north: leave the southbound A3 at Milford Junction. Follow the signs for the A283, heading straight over the first roundabout, straight over the first set of traffic lights, left at the second set of lights, then take the second exit of the next roundabout, on to the A283 towards Petworth. You will go through Milford, Witley and Wormley. As you come into Chiddingfold soon after Wormley, you will pass the Winterton Arms pub on your left; shortly after this, turn right into Woodside Road. The venue will be on your right after a few hundred yards.
• From the south coast and the A3 south: find your way from the A3 northbound or the A272 onto the A283. Head north on the A283, and you will pass through Northchapel and Ramsnest Common. When you come into Chiddingfold, you will pass The Swan on your right, very closely followed by The Crown, opposite the impressive St Mary's Church. Turn left immediately after the church, into Coxcombe Road. Follow this road until it meets Woodside Road at a T-junction. Turn left into Woodside Road, then the venue will be on your immediate right.
