👋 Hello and

We heard you asking on your podcast “Darwen with an E - where’s that?”

We can confirm that Darwen (with an E) does indeed exist. In fact, we’re right here. 👋

And Andy Parsons was correct about one thing…

They DO love him in Darwen - he’s SOLD OUT! 🎟️😂

As for “north of Bolton”… we might let Andy stick to comedy rather than geography. 🧭

Love from,
Darwen Library Theatre (also with an E) ❤️
