Social Club Quiz Night
Our regular in-house quiz night is becoming increasingly popular. It is held on Wednesday’s usually at the end of every month, with entry only £2 per person. and a cash prize for the winners.

Bath Games Group meet every Tuesday night at 7.30pm in the Waterside Bar
They play a variety of modern board and card games such as Settlers of Catan, Carcassonne, Ticket to Ride, Agricola, Dominion, and many more, and everybody is welcome to come along and join in.
Don’t worry if you’ve never played these games before — nobody has played everything and learning something new is all part of the fun. Be there promptly if you want to play.

WSC Art Display

Are you a budding or experienced artist looking for promotional space to display your newest masterpieces? We are looking for artwork to adorn the walls of our newly refurbished Waterside Arts Bar on a quarterly rotation, providing you with free exposure and the chance for your work to be recognised in one of Bath’s most culturally affluent areas – there is no wall-space fee, and we only ask for a 10% commission on any artwork sales.

Our brief simply asks for your artwork to be bright, vibrant and suitable for all audiences (no nudity/explicit material), on any medium. We have up to 5 spaces available approximately 3x4ft, and some smaller spaces too. Submissions will be judged by our esteemed committee based on our criteria and overall artistic appeal.

To submit your work, please email info@widcombesocialclub.co.uk with either a portfolio or your chosen pieces to be entered into consideration.

Works currently on display include some pieces by acclaimed artists Jasper Morley and Jason Dorley-Brown.

Opening Hours

The upstairs Wharf Room continues to be popular with the community as a venue for public and private events of all kinds, both daytime and evening.

Please note the downstairs Waterside Bar is now also available for hire for public or private events, as well as for regular and group activities and is getting busier.
NB we are usually only open on those occasions when there is a planned activity, but we are also open increasingly frequently on some evenings – currently Tuesdays and Fridays – check the web site calendar for more notices.

If you would like to enquire about availability or request opening of the bar  for any reason please get in touch.

Check the Daily Timetable and Events Calendar on our web site to see what’s going on and when.

The Club is Open to Members and Non-Members alike. You do not have to join to come along! WSC members continue to benefit from discounts on all drinks, as well as concessions on some events such as certain Bath Comedy shows.

Why not hold your party here, or organise special events and activities that the Club could host? Contact us to check availability.

We have a free-play pool table, two new dart boards and a Big TV on which we can show BT Sport (including Bath Rugby Matches).

The Management Committee continues to plan for the long term future of the Club and welcomes support from all members.

Hope to see you all soon!
