The Cheshire Cheese & Courtyard
Live Jazz every Thursday from 8pm
2 Wallasey Village,CH44 2DH

There is a new home for Jazz on a Thursday for the next few months, and possibly longer with your support. Thanks to Landlords Ian & Dan, Thursday Jazz is at Cheshire Cheese Public House, 2 Wallasey Village, Wallasey CH44 2DH.

Live Jazz is in the wonderful Courtyard room. Food is available, we have a superb DJ (Graeme Halewood) playing tracks relevant to the music of the guest musician each Thursday from 7pm, with the live music starting at 8pm. We have had some nights so far and with even more support we are hoping the Cheshire Cheese will become a permanent fixture on the Jazz circuit.
