A cafe on the Faraday Business Park in Bridgnorth that doubles as a small music room in the evenings. Because it is not a licensed pub, guests bring their own drink for a flat corkage, with soft drinks and food sold on site. It hosts Bridgnorth's monthly open mic night, which always ends with an all-in jam.

The Night
Bridgnorth Open Mic night runs at Kershaw's Cafe on the fourth Wednesday of each month, 7.45pm to 10.30pm. You can book a spot in advance or just walk in. Entry is free, with a voluntary three pound donation towards the showcase artist. It is a cafe rather than a pub, so you can bring your own alcohol for a five pound per-person corkage, and soft drinks and food are available. The night finishes with a jam that the audience is invited to join in on percussion.
