The Daleside Arms is a village pub on Front Street in Croxdale, about three miles south of Durham city, with a lounge used for live music and parking behind the pub. It hosts the Croxdale Acoustic and Folk Club on the second and fourth Tuesday of the month: an acoustic singaround on the second Tuesday and a guest night on the fourth. The club's own listing gives a 6.30pm to 10.30pm window while its written description says the night runs from 7.30pm, so the earlier time may be doors.
