The Folklore Rooms Open Mic

The Folklore Rooms is Brighton's premier intimate folk venue, tucked above The Quadrant pub at 12 North Street (BN1 3GJ) in the heart of the city. Launched in 2021 out of the Folklore Sessions promotion, it's a beautifully intimate 60-70 capacity performance space kitted out with top-of-the-line sound and lighting and cared for by a dedicated team of in-house engineers. It runs shows seven nights a week — from its own monthly showcase nights to full-band gigs — and has hosted the likes of John Smith, Passenger, Bess Atwell, Wunderhorse, Jamie Lawson, Joshua Hyslop and Great Lake Swimmers among hundreds of touring and local artists. A strong craft-beer selection on tap rounds out the experience.
