About This Open Mic
The Night
The Drummond is an authentic British local in Guildford's leafy suburbs (55–56 Woodbridge Road, GU1 4RF) with a rotating range of ales, wines and spirits. Its Guildford Open Mic runs on Wednesdays, 8pm–10pm, with free admission — a fun, supportive and friendly night welcoming both seasoned performers and first-timers. The venue lays on a full PA, stage lighting and tech support, so just bring an instrument and some friends.
About The Drummond
The Drummond sits on Woodbridge Road, a five-minute walk from the centre of historic Guildford and just along from Stoke Park. It's a proper food-and-ale local — real ale, an open-kitchen seasonal menu, traditional Sunday roasts and quiz nights — that doubles as a grassroots music spot. The weekly Guildford Open Mic runs on Wednesday evenings, with further live entertainment on Thursdays, making it a regular fixture for the town's acoustic and singer-songwriter crowd. The venue welcomes both original material and covers, with a PA on site. Open Monday-Thursday 12:00-23:00, Friday-Saturday 12:00-00:00 and Sunday 12:00-22:30.
