What the room is like

With room for roughly 220, it sits in Bath's mid-size bracket: big enough to attract touring acts, small enough that the back of the room still has a view. These shows tend to sell steadily rather than instantly.

Moles is permanently closed and no longer programmes live music. It is kept here because people still search for it — see the live music guide for venues that are open.

There's no bar, so sort drinks beforehand and no kitchen — eat before you arrive.
