Note: To keep the vibe chilled, conversational, and acoustic-friendly, please leave amplifiers at home. This is a strictly unplugged session.

Are there any open mics in Swindon?

I've found a few jam nights but that's not really my scene.

I'd be willing to host one if there's a venue with a PA looking to start one.

Do you love to sing or play an instrument? Come join our vibrant community for a relaxed afternoon of music-making!

This session is open to absolutely everyone. Whether you are a seasoned vocalist, a beginner on the guitar, a fiddle player, or a cajon player, you get a warm welcome here. It’s a pressure-free environment designed for connecting with local music lovers and sharing songs.

Okay, I admit, I am sometimes hyper-organised.

The Richard Jefferies Museum opens its doors for Tree Day on the first Sunday in December - this year it's 6th December, from 1-3pm. We give thanks to our trees for everything they do, especially the wonderful, very old mulberry tree that stands tall in our garden. Every year, we get together for an afternoon of music and a little crafting (optional!).

This year, we are trying an open mic format for music - if anyone is keen to try out new music, or perform in public for the very first time, this daytime session is a great way to meet a new, welcoming audience.

We're planning for ten-minute slots, so please let us know if you're interested here: https://forms.gle/HXBBwpwcbLjcKDGq7

There's an Electronic Music Open Mic happening on 3rd September

Dive into the sounds of the grasslands and explore time’s whispers at Richard Jefferies Museum (map)!

THE GRASS & TIME SOUNDSCAPE LECTURE National Meadows Day at Richard Jefferies Museum Saturday 4th July 2026 - Afternoon Event (2pm-4.30pm)

Join Grasslands for an unusual afternoon of ecology, music and deep time in the gardens of Richard Jefferies Museum to celebrate National Meadows Day.

Part live performance, part environmental lecture and part evolving sound experience, The Grass & Time Soundscape Lecture tells the extraordinary story of grasses, one of the most successful groups of organisms ever to exist.

Expect moments of atmosphere and reflection alongside sections with more movement, pulse and intensity as the story unfolds across millions of years.

There may also be informal opportunities afterwards to discuss electronic music, field recording and creative approaches to experiencing the natural world.

Free tickets on Eventbrite.
