Brampton, ChesterfieldAbout the night
The Victoria Sessions is a relaxed Sunday afternoon open mic run by the pub itself, open to singers, musicians, duos and full bands. It runs fortnightly on Sundays; the summer listing gave 12 July, 26 July and 9 August 2026, and the pub's current listing covers 11 October to 8 November 2026. The event description gives 4pm to 6.30pm, but the listing's summary shows an earlier 3pm start, so confirm the start with the pub.
