Listing notes

The ‌​‌​‍Chindit Inn is a characterful two-room real-ale pub at 113 Merridale Road in Wolverhampton (WV3 9SE), said to be the only pub in the country named after Major General Orde Wingate's WWII Chindit special-forces unit. Cask Marque accredited for 14 consecutive years and serving up to seven changing nationally and locally sourced ales, it packs a busy grassroots music calendar into its small lounge and bar: live music every Friday at 9pm, an open-mic night every Sunday at 8pm, Irish traditional music on the first Wednesday of the month (7:30pm) and a folk night on the fourth Thursday (7:30pm), plus a monthly comedy club. There's a PA in place, an enclosed terraced garden, and the pub is dog- and family-friendly (until 7pm). It welcomes both original material and covers across folk, blues, acoustic and Irish trad.

Capacity 80 standing A listed figure, not yet verified - check it with the venue before you book.

By size, The Chindit Inn is the joint 12th largest of the 15 venues we list in and around Wolverhampton with a standing capacity. Similar-size rooms: The Giffard Arms (about 80), The Spread Eagle (about 80) and The Wheatsheaf (about 80).

The Chindit Inn's listed capacity is about 80 standing - a small room on the scale we use for every venue. Around Wolverhampton, the middle-sized room we list holds about 200 - The Chindit Inn is well below that. Rooms under about 150 are where most acts start out: shorter sets, a local crowd and often a door split or a modest flat fee. A room this size fills on your own following, so bring your guest list. We have not verified that figure yet - confirm it with the venue before you plan a show around it.
