If you've not been to Calstock Arts yet, put it on your list.
We're right down by the Tamar, tucked away from the August coastal crowds, and the enormous gallery window behind the stage looks over the river to Devon. People walk in and just go a bit quiet for a second. It catches everyone.
The room only holds 120, so you're never far from whatever's happening on stage. And because it was built as a chapel, everything sounds gorgeous, whether it's a folk trio or a string quartet.
Upstairs there's a proper bar with local cider and cask beer at fair prices, and you can take your drink to your seat. The people running it are volunteers who genuinely want you to have a good night, and it shows.
Best bit? You can come by train. The station is a short walk away and the timings work around the trains, so you can leave the car at home.
Tucked away in the Tamar Valley, well off the tourist trail. Worth the trip from wherever you are.
