About This Open Mic
The Night
The Cherry Tree is a charming, modern pub on Church Street in Horbury, just outside Wakefield, with a vibrant atmosphere and a spacious beer garden. Its open mic runs on alternate Thursdays from 7:30pm, featuring a friendly mix of singers and the odd bit of funny poetry — the team love welcoming new talent, so just message them or have a word with staff if you fancy a slot. There's plenty more live music too: bands every Friday and acoustic sessions on Saturday nights and Sunday afternoons.
About The Cherry Tree Horbury
The Cherry Tree is a popular pub at 19 Church Street, Horbury, near Wakefield (WF4 6LT), with a strong, regular live-music calendar. Across the week it runs an Open Mic Night on alternate Thursdays, live bands every Friday night, and acoustic sessions on Saturday nights and Sunday afternoons — a genuinely active grassroots stage for local performers. A Beavertown-partnered outdoor bar in its large beer garden and terrace hosts live music and themed evenings through the warmer months. The kitchen is well-rated (the Steak & Guinness pie a local favourite), and the bar carries craft beers, wines and cocktails. An in-house PA supports both originals and covers.
