Getting Here – Music in Ulpha

Getting to Music in Ulpha

Address

The Browfoot Room, Ulpha, Broughton-in-Furness, Cumbria, LA20 6DX. We are in a remote location with no street lighting so a torch may be useful in the darker winter months.

Travelling FROM BROUGHTON

Why not take an evening off from driving? Using the Kepplewray Community Transport Bus, we are lucky to have some drivers who are willing to drive a minibus over to the Browfoot Room from Broughton. A huge thankyou to them as we very much appreciate what they do. The minibus will leave Broughton Square at 7.15pm (near the Manor Arms), and return at the end of the evening around 10.45pm. We would appreciate a donation of £4 for the return journey. Tickets can be purchased online along with your concert ticket, or at the Ulpha Outreach Post Office in the Browfoot Room (Thursday 1.00 – 3.00pm).

Directions from the South

Follow the A595 past Broughton-in-Furness, and down a steep hill towards the traffic lights. Turn right just before the traffic lights towards Ulpha and Seathwaite. Follow this road to Ulpha across the river, past the immediate left turn, past the Alms Houses on your right and then take the next left onto Birker Fell sign-posted to Eskdale and Wasdale. The Browfoot Room is about 10 metres on the right on this hill.

Directions from the North

Stay on the A595 until Gosforth then turn left through the village and turn right for Eskdale. Stay on this road past the King George pub IV on your right and head towards Ulpha. Go up a long steep hill onto Birker Fell. Follow this road across Birker Fell for about 6 miles and as you descend the steep hill, the Browfoot Room is on your left about 10 metres before the junction at the bottom.

Parking

There is very limited parking at the Browfoot Room site and access is a bit of a tight turn. There is more parking at the bottom of the hill on the valley road shown in Google Maps as The Crook (see map below).
