The Night
The Mayfield Sports Bar on Mayfield Road in Lytham St Annes is a community sports bar with snooker, pool, darts and live sport across nine screens. Its regular entertainment is a Thursday quiz, Saturday bingo and live entertainment on Sunday evenings from 6pm — we found no evidence of an open mic here. The open mic associated with this road ('Musical Allsorts') actually belonged to the nearby St Annes British Legion, which has stopped, with the night now relocated to the St Anne's Ex Servicemens Club on Alexandra Road.
