点评:Esquires is a small venue on the edge of Bedford Town Centre and has played host to many bands over the years. Recently I have been visiting it more and more and trying to go there rather than heading into London.
The venue has got street parking near it however I would suggest parking in Greyfriars car park which is a couple of minutes walk away and also close to the bus station. The parking in this car park is free after 6pm so fits in perfectly if you are going to a gig.
Bedford Midland railway station is about 15 minutes walk away if you are coming by train. Walk down Midland Road and turn left when you come to the junction with Greyfriars. Keep on this road and you will see the venue on your right hand side after you have gone past the car park and the blocks of flats. There is a small parade of shops next to the venue.
They have gigs downstairs and the main gigs are upstairs. There is a staircase to get upstairs, I am not sure if there is a lift or other accommodation for people with mobility challenges.
There is a bar and also a merch stand and the stage is quite small so it is quite intimate.
The staff are always really friendly and it's a great place to go and see your favourite band.
翻译:Esquires 是贝德福德市中心边缘的一个小场地,多年来接待过许多乐队。最近我越来越多地参观它,并试图去那里而不是前往伦敦。
该场地附近有路边停车位,但我建议将车停在 Greyfriars 停车场,步行几分钟即可到达,而且靠近公交车站。这个停车场在下午 6 点后免费停车,因此如果您要去演出的话,这里非常适合。
如果您乘坐火车前来,步行 15 分钟即可到达贝德福德米德兰火车站。沿着 Midland Road 步行,到达 Greyfriars 路口时左转。继续沿着这条路行驶,经过停车场和公寓楼后,您就会在右手边看到场地。会场旁边有一小群商店。
他们在楼下有演出,主要演出在楼上。有楼梯可以上楼,我不确定是否有电梯或其他适合行动不便的人的住宿。
有一个酒吧和一个商品摊位,舞台很小,所以很私密。
工作人员总是非常友好,这是观看您最喜欢的乐队的好地方。
