The Lord Raglan is a traditional back street local on Queen Street in Emsworth, a short drive from Havant and Waterlooville. It has built a strong reputation locally as a live music pub, running two different open mic nights every week plus live bands on selected Friday nights. The Thursday electric open mic is run with a house band, so it functions more like a jam night than a solo singer slot. It is a small, friendly room where regulars back each other up, and it is one of the few pubs in the Havant borough with a genuinely weekly open stage.

The Night
The Lord Raglan runs two open mic nights a week and is one of the busiest grassroots music pubs in the Emsworth and Havant area. The Tuesday night is an Acoustic Open Mic and Jam Night hosted by Adam Ede, running from 7.30pm to 10.30pm, and is the quieter, acoustic focused of the two. The pub also runs Emma and Nigel's Electric Open Mic Night every Thursday from 8pm to 11pm, which includes a house band so players can plug in and be backed. Both nights are walk up and welcome new performers. Pattern: every Tuesday.
