Listing notes
81 Renshaw is a small, independent venue in a historic building on Renshaw Street, combining a gig room, a record shop and a café-bar. Recently revamped, it puts on entertainment in the venue space every week.
Over the years the room has hosted indie, punk and folk bills, acoustic series and a long-running monthly Americana and roots night, and it remains on the circuit for touring acts - Lavinia Blackwall and Big Sleep are among its autumn 2026 dates. Shows typically run from around 7:30pm with music from 8pm.
It's an intimate space that suits songwriters and small bands, and the café-bar opens from midday daily.
