The Yew Tree Inn, home of the Ross-on-Wye Cider & Perry Company at Peterstow, hosts an open mic session on the second Sunday of every month from 3pm. It's a laid-back afternoon affair where everyone is invited and encouraged to come along, listen or join in — a lovely spot to play among the cider barrels. (The pub also runs acoustic singalongs on the third Sunday at 7:30pm.) Free to perform and to watch.
About The Yew Tree Inn
The Yew Tree Inn at Peterstow, just outside Ross-on-Wye, is the home of the Ross-on-Wye Cider & Perry Company and a warm, rural music pub. It hosts live music on the first Friday of every month from 9pm, an open mic session on the second Sunday from 3pm and acoustic singalongs on the third Sunday from 7.30pm. With cider and perry made five hundred yards away on the farm and a long list of beers, it pairs proper drinks with an open, join-in music scene.
