Support grassroots music in Epsom

Grassroots venues are where every act you have ever paid to see started out. Epsom still has 12 of them.

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 shut for good. Those are the rooms where new acts learn to hold an audience, where a first support slot happens, and where a Tuesday night can still turn into something.

This page exists to make them easy to find. It lists 6 gigs across Epsom over the next four weeks, pulled from the venues themselves and updated daily — alongside the 12 grassroots venues and 5 regular open mic nights we track in the city. No algorithm decides what you see: it is simply everything we know is on.

The single most useful thing anyone can do is turn up. Buy a ticket, buy a drink at the bar, and go to a night you have not been to before. If you would rather be told than remember, the sign-up above sends Epsom listings straight to your inbox. If you run a venue here, claim your page so people can find you.

What's on in Epsom — FAQs

Common questions about live music in Epsom, answered with this week's live data.

What live music is on in Epsom over the next four weeks?

We currently list 6 gigs in Epsom between 9 Sept and 7 Oct, across 3 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 the Epsom gig directory or every city we cover.

Are there free gigs in Epsom?

None of the Epsom gigs currently listed are marked free entry, though many venues do not publish a price at all. Epsom open mic nights are your reliable free option — most charge nothing to watch or to play.

What is the busiest night for live music in Epsom?

Sunday, with 2 gigs listed across the next 28 days. Sunday: 2 gigs · Thursday: 2 gigs · Friday: 2 gigs. Filter by This week or This weekend above to narrow it down.

Which Epsom venues have the most on?

Right now: 9ad02b42-9b24-464e-a10f-fa7205fcf636, 29347447-5ae5-48d0-8c51-5af607a48992, 2fe11c62-9c20-4550-bcd4-75426a98a28b. In total we track 12 grassroots venues in Epsom, of which 3 have something listed in this window. Capacity, backline and opening times for each are on the Epsom venue directory.

Where can I find open mic nights in Epsom?

Epsom has 5 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 Epsom open mic finder, or the UK-wide finder.

How much does a gig cost in Epsom, and what should an artist be paid?

Most Epsom venues in our listings do not publish a ticket price in advance. 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.

Why do grassroots venues in Epsom matter?

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. Epsom still has 12 on our list. Music Venue Trust campaigns for them nationally; venues themselves navigate PRS licensing and 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.

How do I get a Epsom gig or venue listed on GIGXCHANGE?

Listing is free and takes about two minutes — submit through the Epsom gig directory and it is verified within 48 hours. 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.
