The Old Pier

About Us

A tower without a clock...
Even time ran out in fear of the fate that befalls The Old Pier.

Nothing makes George want to leave his hometown more the sight of the ​Old Pier - a crumbling wreck on the edge of the ocean. But at night, lights twinkle amongst the rubble... A ghostly steamship arriving in George's bedroom leads to a night of adventure, as the echoes of those who once roamed the pier come together for ​one last revel beside the sea.

Settle in for a musical journey across the waves and back through time... to Birnbeck Pier as you've never heard it before!

Front Room is thrilled to be presenting the debut performance of this wonderful new show created by local artist Jordan Cottle. Using live music, vocal soundscapes and poetic storytelling, Jordan weaves a tale of adventure that explores the forgotten memories of Birnbeck Pier and the magic that can be found right on your doorstep.

Jordan has developed this wonderfully beguiling piece of work with the support of Front Room and we are proud to be hosting its debut in his home town.

Suitable for ages 5+
