Support grassroots music in Wakefield
Grassroots venues are where every act you have ever paid to see started out. Wakefield still has 13 of them.
In Wakefield The Hop and the Black Horse carry the city's weekends, Horbury's Cherry Tree runs four music nights, and the clubs keep the folk and band nights going.
Grassroots rooms are disappearing: 78 stopped hosting live music in the year to July 2025, 30 of them for good, and pubs closed at around two a day in the first quarter of 2026. Lose them and you lose the first rung - the support slots and midweek nights every bigger act started on.
This page exists to make them easy to find. It lists 0 gigs across Wakefield over the next four weeks, pulled from the venues themselves and updated daily - alongside the 13 grassroots venues and 9 regular open mic nights we track in the city. No algorithm decides what you see: it is simply everything we know is on.
The single most useful thing anyone can do is turn up. Buy a ticket, buy a drink at the bar, and go to a night you have not been to before. If you would rather be told than remember, the sign-up below sends Wakefield listings straight to your inbox. If you run a venue here, claim your page so people can find you. The Wrenthorpe Social Club open mic on Tuesdays is an easy first night out.
