St Georges Place, CheltenhamAbout the night
The Bayshill is a friendly traditional Cheltenham pub dating to 1844 (85 St Georges Place, GL50 3PP), and its open mic runs every second Wednesday — a buzzing night that welcomes all kinds of music in any format, separate from the pub's quieter acoustic evening. Expect a warm crowd and plenty of local talent, with a courtyard garden and live-music programme alongside. The exact start time isn't published, so check the pub's What's On before heading down.
