Open Mic Night

Friday, 30 Oct 2026, from 20:00

Open Mic Night

Friday night, local musicians, a stage and a pub full of people who came for a good evening out. Open Mic Night is back at The Crown on Friday 30th October, from 8pm.

Each act plays a song or two, so the night keeps moving, and you never wait long for the next one. It might be a singer-songwriter with something new, a favourite cover, or someone who has been practising in the kitchen for weeks. That mix is what makes it worth turning up for.

Want to play?
Just turn up and ask. There’s no sign-up, no audition, and you don’t need to be a regular. Joe and Sarah host the night and play backing, so you won’t be up there on your own. It’s a friendly crowd, and a nervous first go gets just as warm a reception as a seasoned performer.

Just want to listen?
Come along, get a drink in and pick a good seat. Bring a few friends and make an evening of it.

The Slips Duo LIVE

Saturday, 31 Oct 2026, from 21:00

The Slips Duo LIVE

Halloween night, and we’ve got live music. The Slips Duo are playing at The Crown on Saturday 31st October, from 9pm.

She sings, he strings. It’s an acoustic covers duo from Devizes, with a sound that works just as well when you’re singing along as when you just want to sit back and listen. They play weddings and events across Wiltshire and the South West, so this is a rare chance to catch them in the pub.

It’s a good night to get a few friends together, find a table and settle in for the evening. Expect songs you know, played by two people who clearly enjoy it.
