About This Open Mic
The Night
A family-friendly community pub in Chelston, The Haywain runs a Wednesday-evening acoustic open mic hosted by local musician Isabelle Nutton, who launched the night in spring 2026. It's a warm, low-key session built around acoustic performers, getting under way at 7:30pm. Free entry, just turn up to play.
About The Haywain
The Haywain is a friendly community local in the Chelston area of Torquay, the kind of family-run pub where the entertainment calendar is part of the furniture. Alongside quiz nights and family events, it puts on regular live music, an open mic night and karaoke on Fridays, giving local performers a relaxed, welcoming stage. It's very much a neighbourhood venue rather than a touring stop, with a pub garden and traditional games rounding out the offer.
