07 — Support grassroots
Support grassroots music in Bath

Grassroots venues are where every act you have ever paid to see started out. Bath still has 36 of them.

Bath is a pub-and-arts-centre city: The Forum for touring acts, Chapel Arts for jazz and folk, and cellar bars and Georgian-street pubs for open mics and local bands.

Grassroots rooms are disappearing: 78 stopped hosting live music in the year to July 2025, 30 of them for good, and pubs closed at around two a day in the first quarter of 2026. Lose them and you lose the first rung - the support slots and midweek nights every bigger act started on.

Think of this as the city's noticeboard: 23 gigs across Bath in the next four weeks, alongside 36 grassroots venues and 13 regular open mic nights, updated daily from the rooms that host them. There is no algorithm and no paid placement. The busiest rooms right now are Bath Forum, Prestbury Sports Bar and Cheese And Grain, and the sound leans rock and pop.

So go. Pick a night you would not normally choose, buy a ticket and a drink, and bring a friend. The sign-up below sends Bath listings to your inbox each week, and if you run a room here, claim your venue page to keep it accurate. The The Bell Inn open mic on Thursdays is an easy first night out.

Go to one this month

Bath has 23 gigs in the next four weeks and 13 open mic nights running. Choose one, go, and tell someone who would like it - word of mouth still fills small rooms. Friday is the night with most on.

7 gigs in Bath this weekend (Fri 13 Nov – Sun 15 Nov) - including Slip-NOT, Chopsuey, A7Xperience at Komedia (Friday), Skids + Theatre Of Hate at Cheese And Grain (Friday), The Skids, Theatre of Hate at Cheese and Grain (Friday). The full Friday-to-Sunday list is in This Weekend above, and every gig over the next 28 days is below it.
Counting every upcoming date, there are 56 gigs listed in and around Bath - third of 7 against its nearest places with live music, behind the Bristol area (247).
We currently list 23 gigs in Bath between 13 Nov and 11 Dec, across 8 venues. The listings above are the full set, sorted by date and refreshed daily from the venues themselves — no algorithm decides what you see. For everything beyond this window, browse every upcoming gig in Bath in the gig directory or every city we cover.
None of the Bath gigs currently listed are marked free entry, though many venues do not publish a price at all. Bath open mic nights are your reliable free option — most charge nothing to watch or to play.
Friday, with 9 gigs listed across the next 28 days. Friday: 9 gigs · Saturday: 8 gigs · Tuesday: 2 gigs. Filter by This week or This weekend above to narrow it down.
Right now: Bath Forum, Prestbury Sports Bar, Cheese And Grain. In total we track 36 grassroots venues in Bath, of which 8 have something listed in this window. Capacity, backline and opening times for each are on the Bath venue directory.
Bath has 13 regular open mic nights that we verify on a rolling cycle. Each listing carries the sign-up time, slot length, entry fee and whether a PA and backline are provided — see the Bath open mic finder, or the UK-wide finder.
Where a Bath venue publishes a price, the average ticket is £19.00. Grassroots entry is typically a few pounds on the door, and many nights are free. On the other side of the transaction, the Musicians' Union publishes national gig rates as the recognised floor for live engagements, and the ISM publishes guidance for self-employed musicians. Our own UK gig rate benchmarks show what artists are actually being paid by region and act type.
Grassroots rooms are where every act you have paid to see learned to hold an audience. Two pubs a day closed across the UK in the first quarter of 2026, and over the year to July 2025 78 grassroots music venues stopped putting on live music — 30 of them for good. Bath still has 36 on our list. Music Venue Trust campaigns for them nationally; venues themselves hold TheMusicLicence from PPL PRS and navigate local authority licensing to keep putting music on. The single most useful thing anyone can do is turn up and buy a drink at the bar.
Listing is free and takes about two minutes — submit through the Bath gig directory and it is reviewed before it goes live. No account is needed and there is no listing fee. If you run a venue here, claim your venue page to keep its capacity, backline and contact details current. Promoters and venues booking acts can also post paid work or find artists directly.

Support grassroots music in Bath

Grassroots venues are where every act you have ever paid to see started out. Bath still has 36 of them.

Bath is a pub-and-arts-centre city: The Forum for touring acts, Chapel Arts for jazz and folk, and cellar bars and Georgian-street pubs for open mics and local bands.

Grassroots rooms are disappearing: 78 stopped hosting live music in the year to July 2025, 30 of them for good, and pubs closed at around two a day in the first quarter of 2026. Lose them and you lose the first rung - the support slots and midweek nights every bigger act started on.

Think of this as the city's noticeboard: 23 gigs across Bath in the next four weeks, alongside 36 grassroots venues and 13 regular open mic nights, updated daily from the rooms that host them. There is no algorithm and no paid placement. The busiest rooms right now are Bath Forum, Prestbury Sports Bar and Cheese And Grain, and the sound leans rock and pop.

So go. Pick a night you would not normally choose, buy a ticket and a drink, and bring a friend. The sign-up below sends Bath listings to your inbox each week, and if you run a room here, claim your venue page to keep it accurate. The The Bell Inn open mic on Thursdays is an easy first night out.

Go to one this month

Bath has 23 gigs in the next four weeks and 13 open mic nights running. Choose one, go, and tell someone who would like it - word of mouth still fills small rooms. Friday is the night with most on.

Right now: Bath Forum, Prestbury Sports Bar, Cheese And Grain. In total we track 36 grassroots venues in Bath, of which 8 have something listed in this window. Capacity, backline and opening times for each are on the Bath venue directory.
Bath has 13 regular open mic nights that we verify on a rolling cycle. Each listing carries the sign-up time, slot length, entry fee and whether a PA and backline are provided — see the Bath open mic finder, or the UK-wide finder.
Where a Bath venue publishes a price, the average ticket is £19.00. Grassroots entry is typically a few pounds on the door, and many nights are free. On the other side of the transaction, the Musicians' Union publishes national gig rates as the recognised floor for live engagements, and the ISM publishes guidance for self-employed musicians. Our own UK gig rate benchmarks show what artists are actually being paid by region and act type.
Grassroots rooms are where every act you have paid to see learned to hold an audience. Two pubs a day closed across the UK in the first quarter of 2026, and over the year to July 2025 78 grassroots music venues stopped putting on live music — 30 of them for good. Bath still has 36 on our list. Music Venue Trust campaigns for them nationally; venues themselves hold TheMusicLicence from PPL PRS and navigate local authority licensing to keep putting music on. The single most useful thing anyone can do is turn up and buy a drink at the bar.
Listing is free and takes about two minutes — submit through the Bath gig directory and it is reviewed before it goes live. No account is needed and there is no listing fee. If you run a venue here, claim your venue page to keep its capacity, backline and contact details current. Promoters and venues booking acts can also post paid work or find artists directly.
