Secret Garden is a relaxed country pub on the edge of Hereford that runs an open mic every other Sunday from 5:30pm, with free entry. Slots are booked in advance via the venue's online booking form rather than walk-up, so it's worth securing a place ahead of the night.
About The Secret Garden
The Secret Garden is a relaxed country pub on the edge of Hereford that leans hard into live music. It hosts Herefordshire's open mic nights every other Sunday from 5:30pm, supports talented local bands on its Saturday gig nights, and its Live Lounge showcases acoustic music from the newest talent in the county and beyond. With space for up to 180 in the main bar plus fields for outdoor events, it's a proper grass-roots stage for the area.
