What's On in Leicester
Wednesday 28 October 2026 · This weekend · City guide
Wednesday nights in Leicester have a quiet magic all their own, and this last week of October is no exception. The city may be settling into its autumn rhythm, but there is warmth to be found if you know where to look — and tonight, a welcoming pub in Birstall is proof of that.
Highlights
Birstall Open Mic — There is something irresistibly human about an open mic night — the nervous first-timers, the seasoned regulars, the songs you have never heard before and will never quite forget. The Old Plough in Birstall sets the perfect stage for it all: a proper pub atmosphere where the crowd is kind and the performances can go anywhere. Head down from 7:30pm, check the website for entry details, and prepare to be surprised.
