About The Cornmarket

The Cornmarket is a grassroots music venue in Liverpool, Liverpool. PA system and vocal mics are provided; bring your own instruments and amps.

The Cornmarket books Folk, Acoustic acts. Both original music and covers are welcome. This listing is part of the Liverpool venue directory.

The Cornmarket is one of Liverpool's oldest pubs, tucked almost hidden in the Old Ropery off Fenwick Street in the heart of the business district near the crown courts and stations. The Victorian interior keeps its carved wooden fireplace panels and comfortable Chesterfields, and the pub hosts the Folk North West 'Cornmarket Acoustic' club on the first Tuesday of every month — an open, sing-around folk and acoustic session that moved here from its original Hackins Hey home. A cosy, characterful spot for traditional folk and acoustic music in central Liverpool.
