The Fleece is a historic harbour-side pub on Church Street in Whitby's old town, well known locally for its regular live music. Mondays bring an open-mic session, while Thursday folk nights fill the Pewter room with live local players. With a beer garden looking out over Whitby harbour and a strong CAMRA real-ale following, it's a warm, traditional spot for acoustic and folk sessions.

Church Street, WhitbyAbout the night
A traditional harbourside pub on Whitby's historic Church Street, The Fleece runs a Monday-evening open mic that locals rate warmly — one regular called it "just great, good music and song and everyone enjoying themselves". Real ales, a spacious patio overlooking the harbour and a friendly crowd make it an easy-going spot for a first play. Free entry, walk-in sign-up, from around 8pm.
