About This Open Mic
The Night
The White Horse sits at the western entrance to Maidstone and is a proper live-music local — bands on Friday and Saturday, then a weekly Sunday-night open mic / jam where players get up and trade songs. It's a cosy single-bar pub with a two-level area at the far end, a garden, and a rotating cask line (London Pride, Ghost Ship and a changing guest). Free to come down and play; just have a word with the host on the night.
About The White Horse
The White Horse is a premium country pub, bar and restaurant on The Green in the picturesque village of Bearsted, Maidstone, Kent, with its own garden. Under its 'Beats & Bubbles' programme it features live music on Saturday evenings plus a jam night on Sundays, drawing bands and open jammers across mixed and acoustic styles. It works as a gastropub with full dining and is also hired for weddings and events. A house PA supports the regular weekend live music.
