Support grassroots music in Woking

Grassroots venues are where every act you have ever paid to see started out. Woking still has 16 of them.

In Woking The Fiery Bird is the grassroots stage and Monday open mic, while Guildford's Row Barge and Star Inn and the open mics in Weybridge and Ripley cover the other nights.

In the year to July 2025, 78 UK grassroots venues stopped putting on live music and 30 closed outright, while pubs shut at about two a day in early 2026. Each one was somewhere a band played its first paid gig or a songwriter tried a new song on a room of strangers.

Think of this as the city's noticeboard: 9 gigs across Woking in the next four weeks, alongside 16 grassroots venues and 14 regular open mic nights, updated daily from the rooms that host them. There is no algorithm and no paid placement. Most of it happens at The Star Inn, Fiery Bird Venue and G Live Guildford, and the sound leans house and tribute act.

The best support is a full room. Turn up to something new, stay for the support act, and buy from the bar. For a weekly round-up of Woking gigs, use the sign-up below; if you run a venue here, claim your listing so people can find it. Start small: The Keep hosts an open mic each Sunday.

3 gigs in Woking this weekend (Fri 13 Nov – Sun 15 Nov) - including Stabat Mater by Pergolesi in Guildford at Guildford Cathedral (Friday), Absolute Amy at Thirty3Hz (Saturday), Rob Clamp & The Ashmen at The Star Inn (Saturday). The full Friday-to-Sunday list is in This Weekend above, and every gig over the next 28 days is below it.
Counting every upcoming date, there are 24 gigs listed in and around Woking - fourth of 7 against its nearest places with live music, behind the Sutton area (55).
We currently list 9 gigs in Woking between 13 Nov and 11 Dec, across 4 venues. The listings above are the full set, sorted by date and refreshed daily from the venues themselves — no algorithm decides what you see. For everything beyond this window, browse every upcoming gig in Woking in the gig directory or every city we cover.
None of the Woking gigs currently listed are marked free entry, though many venues do not publish a price at all. Woking open mic nights are your reliable free option — most charge nothing to watch or to play.
Friday, with 3 gigs listed across the next 28 days. Friday: 3 gigs · Saturday: 3 gigs · Sunday: 1 gig. Filter by This week or This weekend above to narrow it down.
Right now: The Star Inn, Fiery Bird Venue, G Live Guildford. In total we track 16 grassroots venues in Woking, of which 4 have something listed in this window. Capacity, backline and opening times for each are on the Woking venue directory.
Woking has 14 regular open mic nights that we verify on a rolling cycle. Each listing carries the sign-up time, slot length, entry fee and whether a PA and backline are provided — see the Woking open mic finder, or the UK-wide finder.
Where a Woking venue publishes a price, the average ticket is £29.50. Grassroots entry is typically a few pounds on the door, and many nights are free. On the other side of the transaction, the Musicians' Union publishes national gig rates as the recognised floor for live engagements, and the ISM publishes guidance for self-employed musicians. Our own UK gig rate benchmarks show what artists are actually being paid by region and act type.
Grassroots rooms are where every act you have paid to see learned to hold an audience. Two pubs a day closed across the UK in the first quarter of 2026, and over the year to July 2025 78 grassroots music venues stopped putting on live music — 30 of them for good. Woking still has 16 on our list. Music Venue Trust campaigns for them nationally; venues themselves hold TheMusicLicence from PPL PRS and navigate local authority licensing to keep putting music on. The single most useful thing anyone can do is turn up and buy a drink at the bar.
Listing is free and takes about two minutes — submit through the Woking gig directory and it is reviewed before it goes live. No account is needed and there is no listing fee. If you run a venue here, claim your venue page to keep its capacity, backline and contact details current. Promoters and venues booking acts can also post paid work or find artists directly.
