The Railway is an 1870s gabled pub standing directly opposite Lancing railway station on North Road. It is a community local with a dedicated stage area and a busy entertainment diary rather than a purpose-built music venue. Alongside the Wednesday open mic it runs quiz nights, game shows, karaoke and booked solo acts and DJs at weekends. The stage room is set up permanently for performance, with a house PA of up to four wireless vocal mics plus house instruments kept on site.
