The Three Cups is a 16th-century pub in Westport, at the Malmesbury end of the Cotswolds, with a hayloft at the rear that serves as its live music room. CAMRA lists it as a historic pub with live music, and it runs a full programme of events across the month rather than a single music night.
The open mic is monthly, on the last Sunday, 5pm to 7pm, and takes musicians and spoken word alike. Sign-up is walk-in: arrive prepared and early and put your name in the hat, and the running order is drawn at random. Each performer gets up to three songs or spoken word pieces, and the ask is that you stay afterwards and listen to everyone else.
The pub supplies the PA and the audience. Everything else is on you - instrument, picks, capo, tuner, music stand.
