The Rolleston Arms — 'The Rolly' — is a historic, lively town-centre music pub on a prominent corner at 73 Commercial Road in central Swindon, under new management since early 2026. The traditional multi-level pub serves real ales and pairs with Level 3, its purpose-built 400-capacity live-music venue on the lower ground floor, split over two levels with a stage, dance floor and mezzanine viewing gallery and a high-grade sound system. Level 3 is Swindon's leading alternative venue, programming mainly rock, metal and punk plus tribute bands, blues, ska and touring/local acts, with live music a regular Friday and Saturday fixture.
