The Pear Tree Inn is a family-run community pub at 79 Unthank Road, Norwich (NR2 2PE), with a warm, welcoming atmosphere that locals rate highly for its open-mic nights. It runs an open mic every Tuesday from 8pm to 11pm — free to perform and free to watch. To play, message the host (Lesley) in advance to let them know you'd like a slot, though it stays an informal, friendly night. A PA and at least one vocal mic are provided; bring your own instrument, amp and pedals. The crowd is a mix of working musicians, friends and regulars. Solo songwriters, duos and acoustic acts suit the room best; full bands should check with the host first.
