Newark Town & District Club
About Us
The Newark Town District Club is a private gentleman's
establishment situated in the old market town of Newark On Trent,
centrally located in the town; this venue is one of the most unique
and best-kept secrets in the region.
Newark Town & District Club was formed 6th December 1865, with the inaugural meeting taking place at the Robin Hood Hotel (seen below).

The Club soon moved to premises on Beaumond Cross and then in 1933 it moved again to its present imposing premises at Barbygate House.
From those early days the Club has established itself as one of the institutions of the town. Throughout its life the Club has had many distinguished members - mayors, aldermen, leading industrialists, JP's, and MP's. It has also seen many important visitors, the most famous probably being Lawrence of Arabia, who enjoyed the facilities whilst serving locally with the RAF.
The Club is a convenient town centre haven where members from all walks of life can share its convivial atmosphere. There is also an extensive well laid out garden at the rear with several mature trees.
Members today still enjoy the building and facilities at Barmby Gate, with an on-going effort to preserve the club and its history.
