Sunday open mic night at The George & Dragon, a pub open mic for Salisbury musicians, poets and performers hosted by Lucas Hardy.
The George & Dragon on Castle Street hosts its open mic night this Sunday 8 November, from 19:30 to 22:30, with the music starting at 7:30pm. It's hosted by Lucas Hardy, who keeps the night moving and makes sure everyone gets their turn.
If you've never been, the format is straightforward: it's a friendly, welcoming session for Salisbury musicians, poets and performers. You just turn up with a guitar and share a few songs. Hardy aims to give each performer around three songs, so arriving early is recommended if you want to be sure you get on. There's no need to book in advance — walk-ins are welcome, and everyone who takes part gets a complimentary drink.
It's become a regular fixture in the pub's weekly round. The George & Dragon is one of Salisbury's oldest and most storied pubs, dating back to 1530. A Grade II listed coaching inn and former 'Silent Woman', it sits beside the River Avon and pairs classic ales and a riverside garden with a steady programme of live entertainment: weekend rock and blues, Sunday acoustic sessions and Thursday pub quizzes. This open mic fits right into that mix.
