About This Open Mic
The Night
The Hole in the Wall is a 1930s art-deco back-street pub in Nottingham that has historically run a Sunday open mic, with a guitar and piano on hand for performers. Its future is uncertain, though — the people running it announced in October 2024 that they were leaving the pub trade — so check the pub's Facebook for current status before turning up to play.
