UK Venue Guide
Music Venues
Browse 256 music venues across the UK.
Across 12 cities and towns, 256 music venues are catalogued in our directory. Live music venues are where the UK's grassroots music ecosystem lives. From small pub back rooms to mid-sized clubs that have launched the careers of household names, these venues are essential to the country's live music culture. Most operate a busy gig calendar and welcome private hire enquiries from promoters and event organisers.
Typical uses
Live band performances, DJ sets, touring artists, album launches, open mic nights, comedy nights, and private hire.
Booking advice
Buy tickets through the venue's own website or partner agencies (See Tickets, Skiddle, DICE, etc.). For artists and promoters, contact the venue's booking manager directly.
Where to find them
The largest concentrations of music venues in our directory are in London (26), Birmingham (11), Liverpool (9). London, Manchester, Birmingham, and other major cities tend to have the highest counts simply due to population, but music venues are spread across every region of the UK.
