City Centre, ChichesterAbout the night
Chichester Folk Song Club runs a folk singaround at the Chichester Inn every Monday at 8pm, with free entry. It is an open floor round the room session rather than a booked concert, so anyone can sing, play or listen. The pub's own events calendar lists it running weekly through November 2026, on 2, 9, 16 and 23 November. The pub also advertised a separate monthly open mic on the last Tuesday of the month via Chichester BID, but that night does not appear on the venue's current calendar, so treat it as unconfirmed.
