Live Music

We pride ourselves in providing high-quality live music that cannot be matched locally. We carefully hand-pick our musicians and groups we have perform here at Old Dairy. Always ensuring a variety of genres booked throughout the year; there really is something for everyone. We've had everything from beautiful folk duo's to 19 piece brass bands, from country to heavy metal, we cover it all. As we continue to grow and establish ourselves as a venue we hope to only expand our range and bring you higher-status acts too. Scroll down to learn more and to apply to play at Old Dairy Taproom.

Live Sound

At Old Dairy we believe that the sound quality is equally as important as the talent we book. We invest time and money into ensuring we produce good sound, Thanks to the help of local experts as well as our own on-site sound engineer in training. All in aid of making your live music experience better.

Music Venue Trust

We are prouldy part of the MVT Alliance, a chairty that supports small grassroots venues across the UK. Venues and the hospitality sector are up against constant battles, high VAT rates, energy prices, national and local government legislation , the list goes on, making it harder and harder for venues like us to keep their doors open. MVT's ethos is all about live music first, and how the musicians and artists of tomorrow need the small venues of today. Being part of this wonderful charity means we are able to support other venues as well as receiving expert advice and resources and potential for grants and funding to continue to grow our small, family-owned and run venue. All of this, simply because we love live music and want to keep it alive. Visit their website for more information, donate and read the latest report.

MVT Website

We host regular open mic's at Old Dairy, backed by an incredible team of musicians who can support people who want to come and have a go. At Old Dairy, we love live music and want to give everyone an opportunity to play. We have two variations of open mic one in our cosy snug bar which is designed to be more stripped back. We also have open mic in the large brewhouse bar which is full backline.

They run 7-11pm, we always have 2 for £17 on our homemade pizza. It's a bloody good Thursday night. Check our listings to see when the next one is.
