About The Wobbly Cobbler
The Wobbly Cobbler is a grassroots music venue in Scotforth, Lancaster with a standing capacity of approximately 80. PA system and vocal mics are provided; bring your own instruments and amps.
The Wobbly Cobbler is a community micropub on Scotforth Road in Lancaster (LA1 4SA), opened in 2020 in a former florist's shop and now an established, dog-friendly local. With a cosy interior, heated outdoor seating and a strong line in cask ales and keg beers from independent breweries, it punches above its size as a grassroots music spot. The headline event for performers is its weekly open mic every Tuesday — a relaxed, welcoming slot night for singer-songwriters and acoustic acts drawing on the venue's PA. A Thursday quiz rounds out the events calendar. Capacity is small (around 80), making for an intimate, friendly room ideal for first gigs and local talent.
