About This Open Mic
The Night
The World's End is a riverside pub at Bond End in Knaresborough — multi-tiered terrace, winter tipi and a warm, traditional feel. Its Sunday open mic, which famously survived Covid by moving online, runs every Sunday evening (roughly 7pm–10:30pm) and pulls a friendly crowd of regulars. Free to play; just turn up. There's a dedicated 'Open Mic At The Worlds End' Facebook group and @worldsendopenmic on Instagram.
About Worlds End
The World's End is a historic riverside pub at 65 Bond End, Knaresborough (HG5 9AU) — note the venue sits in Knaresborough, not central Harrogate, despite the Harrogate city slug. Steeped in character, it pairs perfectly poured pints with hearty, freshly prepared food (stone-baked pizzas and burgers Friday to Sunday plus classic pub grub) and a large, south-facing tiered outdoor area overlooking the river. For performers the weekly fixture is the open mic / live music every Sunday from 6:30pm, showcasing local talent in a relaxed setting with a PA. A welcoming, scenic grassroots spot for acoustic and local acts.
