06 — Support grassroots

Support grassroots music in Hereford

Grassroots venues are where every act you have ever paid to see started out. Hereford still has 23 of them.

In Hereford the music sits close together: The Kerry and Gordon Bennetts for weekend bands, The Globe arts centre for shows, Babar for original acts and The Grapes for a Sunday open mic.

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.

Everything here comes from the venues and promoters themselves, refreshed every day: 3 gigs in Hereford over the next four weeks, plus the 23 grassroots venues and 21 regular open mic nights we track. Nothing is ranked or sponsored - if we know it is on, it is listed.

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 Hereford listings to your inbox each week, and if you run a room here, claim your venue page to keep it accurate. The The Lupa open mic on Thursdays is an easy first night out.

Go to one this month

Between now and 11 Dec there are 3 gigs in Hereford, and 23 grassroots venues and 21 regular open mic nights. One night out this month keeps a room's diary full.

What lands in your inbox. Every Monday at noon, one email of Hereford gigs for the week ahead, never more than two on the same night. When fewer than four Hereford gigs fall in the week, the email reaches on to the next fortnight, then the month, so you still have something to choose from.

Why sign up. Small rooms post their dates in a dozen different places; the email is the one place Hereford's gigs are all together. One click unsubscribes, any time.

Planning ahead? Gigs in Hereford come and go each week; festivals are planned months ahead. One festival timeline holds the UK music festivals we have date-checked, by month, region and genre, and flags clashing weekends.

07 — Questions10 answersWhat's on in Hereford

What's on in Hereford this weekend?

Nothing is listed in Hereford for this weekend (Fri 13 Nov – Sun 15 Nov) yet - see the next 28 days below, or the Hereford open mics, which run every week.

How does live music in Hereford compare to nearby cities?

Counting every upcoming date, there are 11 gigs listed in and around Hereford - fifth of 7 against its nearest places with live music, behind the Bristol area (247).

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

We currently list 3 gigs in Hereford between 13 Nov and 11 Dec, across 1 venue. 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 Hereford in the gig directory or every city we cover.

Are there free gigs in Hereford?

None of the Hereford gigs currently listed are marked free entry, though many venues do not publish a price at all. Hereford 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 Hereford?

There is no clear busiest night in Hereford at the moment — the 3 listed gigs are spread thinly across the 28-day window. Listings update daily.

Which Hereford venues have the most on?

Right now: Ludlow Brewery. In total we track 23 grassroots venues in Hereford, of which 1 have something listed in this window. Capacity, backline and opening times for each are on the Hereford venue directory.

Where can I find open mic nights in Hereford?

Hereford has 21 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 Hereford open mic finder, or the UK-wide finder.

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

Where a Hereford venue publishes a price, the average ticket is £24.25. 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 Hereford 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. Hereford still has 23 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.

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

Listing is free and takes about two minutes — submit through the Hereford 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.
