The Duck Inn is a Hop Back Brewery country pub on Duck Lane in Laverstock, just east of Salisbury (SP1 1PU). Named CAMRA Country Pub of the Year 2017, it pours three regular Hop Back ales and looks out over a large terrace and beer garden with woodland views. For live music, the pub runs a monthly 'Music 4 Fun' open mic on the last Thursday of every month from 7:30pm — a relaxed, all-comers session that welcomes both original songs and covers — alongside the occasional summer BBQ. It's an intimate room (around 60 capacity) and a friendly grassroots spot for Salisbury-area performers. Players bring their own gear, in keeping with the laid-back open-mic format.
